Hi All,
Time for a rant, I know how to get PC's to talk to the outside world given sufficient hardware and info. I am playing with a set of scales that we are abusing for a test rig. The device is a little odd and the timing of it is strange. You send it a 'Z\r\n' to zero it 'beep' (which according to the docs means received & understood) and period of time T it zero's, then reading is made via 'P\r\n' 'beep' and the reading is returned. The reading packet seems to hold the current tare weight, the number of readings made and a total. All we care about is the tare weight. If the unit is zeroed the tare weight according to logic should be 0.00 but no it is not there?? force a zero by the on scale function it returns a 0.00 tare weight? Combined with the lack of Vis Studio .NET beyond version 2003 (.NET 1.5??) means I have to make notes of how the software behaves and do the mods with 2008 all despite having the OK for a new version (2017 possibly needed for compatibility issues) I still don't have it. I'm doing my best with what I have (if some else tells me to use Python I will stick a fork in their eye)

What I normally do is to use a terminal emulation program to send commands "by hand" and see what's going on. If I have to spy on two devices talking serially, I use two COM ports to capture each side of the dialog.

That was my first though but I haven't done to much serial port work since Win 8, Win10 & Win11 I have not attacked in the same depth. The blessed tool I used to use won't work on Win11 (I also don't have Admin so problems!)

anagram-solver.net gives about 27 of them. Some of them are clearly French or Italian, but there are a few we'd get away with.

today I get a license of UltraEdit and plan to play around with it.
Just be curious: what is your favorite features for UltraEdit?

Probably "Uninstall": I've never used it or wanted to ... for text / binary file editing, I use PSPad - it'#s free and does everything I need. For source code I use VS because why wouldn't you?

for binary file editing i recommend "010 Editor" . it is noΕ£ free but it is a pleasure to utilize but mostly it offers templates . or i can give you my copy of "FileRay" the 1st binary file editor which utilized templates 2y prior to 010 . it was written for XP . i am not certain of its' function under 10 / 11 .

I've got a "word in one" a couple of times; but I think "pleased" is a better adjective than "proud" as no actual skill is involved!
