Author: Ivar Johnsrud (www.johnsrud.no/pic/) Original program: Petr Kolomaznik (www.ehl.cz/pic) This downloader should work with the original 16F87x bootloader and the new 18Fxx2/18xx8 bootloader. It has not been tested with the 16Fxx7 series since the modification, please let me know if it works or not. If anyone want to rewrite the DOS and Linux versions of the downloader, down hesitate to ask me if you have questions about the added features in the protocol. Note: The downloader seem a bit less responsive in 18 series mode. The reason for this is that the timeout on communication from the PIC is large (0.6 sec). This has to be so large because the bootloader has to delete the flash memory before a write operation can be done, and this operation takes about 0.5 sec. While the deletion is performed, the downloader is waiting for IDACK on serial port.
