Hi Dave. Could you tell me how u configured Classicladder to use the MODBUS 
interface? Did you need to specify the port on the comandline? The first leg of 
adaption is going well (meaning classicladder V7.123 starts and works with HAL 
pins) but I dont have any MODBUS equipment right now, so I need to know what u 
used to make it work. Did you use a serial port? As soon as i feel the program 
is functioning properly I will see about putting it in CVS though I need to 
talk to the other developers about whether making a new branch for this version 
is the way to go.  

Cheers Chris Morley
