Hi,

LOL, I used to seriously mess with my boss' head when dubugging code.

I used to patch my code, in hex, in an EPROM emulator (a "Softy S3") as it 
was quicker than editing the source on my PC, assembling it and then 
downloading it the the emulator....

He just couldn't get his head around how I could "assemble" code in my head, 
even when I explained to him how easy it was when you understood how the 
opcodes were formed (doesn't work for all processors mind).


  TTFN - Pete.
