Great - I could pick it up and experi^Wprepare better if Petter lets me. It would really help to grab the board in Copenhagen this weekend and not have to wait until I get to Berlin. > Alas, I do this part and the synthesis under Windows.

Another tool in the repo. Where does it go? I have a GALEP-5 rather competent programmer and I know a lot about flash programming.

I've given up on XP10 synthesis since I can't get ispLEVER PRO. //Peter _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
