Hi Glenn and all,

Hm, I only did get the direct copy on my laptop, so I guess the copy via the
list was dropped as a double. Reply to the list though.

I actually also have 4.5, I think 4.53, but back then decided to put that
back in the box and simply use 3.1. It's been too long, but I think it most
likely was because of the compiler. James N5KNX was using 3.1 at that time
too, though I recall some people using the more recent versions.
LOL, 4.5 must now also be at least some 12 years..
Having a separate assembler would probably be handy anyway, any suggestions?

However, I'm sure 4.5 is also still in a moving box, another one that for
3.1 though.
One of the things here that still has to be done, is my office/hobby
room/radio shack. When that one is ready, which includes taking out and
replacing a soft board ceiling with plasterboard, quite a few boxes can be
emptied and the content given a place where I can find it again. There's
quite a few things I wanted to use since we moved, but where I know it's in
one of the remaining boxes....
BTW, replacing the ceiling does offer the opportunity to put in some cable
ducts for the hobby though....

Hm.. Just noticed I need to update my address book for the list address...
