Lots of vendors have really crappy install routines that replace the most recent, downwardly compatible versions of some DLL with the version they developed with that of course isn't upwardly compatible. Prime example: Installing Orcad 9.2 will kill the MSDN help viewer because Orcad overwrites mshtml.ocx without bothering to check whether or not the version already there is newer. > The OBD-II > communications environment is quite complex (eg, mutiple BAUD rates > changes in the middle of communications). Hmm... do they start out at a "least common denominator" setting (a lot bit rate) and then shift upward when both "parties" (the car and the PC) have verified that they can handle it? I'm trying to think of what someone would choose to implement such a "feature." ---Joel The K3UK DIGITAL MODES SPOTTING CLUSTER AT telnet://208.15.25.196/ Yahoo!
