Looks good Andrew, thanks. But checking the man page, its under DEBUGGING and subject to going away at any time. Not good when this code might be legacy code someday. I recall seeing it quite a few years ago, exactly as the man page says today. I'll see what I can hack up anyway, thanks for the reminder. A bitslice to change that 5 into 3 setup pins for a lut5, so 2 additional modules get loaded by hal. Or is there a simpler way? Thanks again. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
