Well here it is. It does have a basic wedge so you can create your own programs to control the interface, or to just control the full amount of modules (the graphic program that is included only lets you control 90 modules). The graphic program does work without the interface in demo mode. And you can still order the CP290 from a bunch of places but they will come with the IBM or MAC software and cable. But if you call X-10 directly they will sell you the package for $20 with the cable, software and manual. Or you can get just the cable for $10 (if I remebmer corectly). [ Dan has assured me that he has spoken with the president of X-10, and this software is freely distributable. Makes sense, since it's not much good without the modules. :-) -- Cameron Kaiser ] This is a c-kit boa file uuencoded. You must use c-kit or the dissolver to dissolve the file to a blank 1541 disk. [ The dissolver is also being posted. -- Cameron Kaiser ] Dan Barber xy3951@epix.net
