As a side note, I do not even own an Integrator board and my target system has nothing to do with traditional boards so I'll have to hack together a simulation environment myself anyway... /me wished there was another poor soul in his company to do it :) thanks a lot for your quick answer, I'll keep you updated if I can manage to release some GPL code of our (not-yet-written) modules. best regards, Mathieu > > - FChE -- Mathieu Lacage #p: +33 1 69 19 61 97
