i've noticed that many people use hyperterminal to test their codes on their pics. I've never used it before, can anybody direct me into setting this up so that i could make my life easier  thanks! |

TeraTerm (more reliable than Hyperterminal) is an under statement
1000 times more reliable than hyperterminal maybe more accurate. |

| Avoid hyperterm where possible, it was one of the worst things microsoft ever did to replace windows terminal with the absolute crap that is hyperterm. |

I would agree that HyperTerminal should be avoided if at all possible.
PuTTY is an alternative. I've used PuTTY for quite a few years while without problems. I've not used TeraTerm so can't compare it with PuTTY. |

I don't have definite numbers but I'm sure at least a 100 Million people used at some time in their life ! How about your app ? 1000?10000?100000?
Try this one no need to install.
And for Hyperterm, it works, maybe not for commercial use but works.

I use RealTerm as another option... hyperterm is terrible.

Hyperterm for OS/2 was great. When they ported it to Windows was when it went bad.

OS/2 -- what a fine piece of work.
I remember the days of using v4 while all my windows friends were crashing all around me.
*sigh*

Yeah, what a piece.....work doesn't spring to my mind though.
I was forced to use IBM PS2's running OS/2. I remember being forced to buy microchannel GPIB boards which cost about 3x that of non-IBM proprietary hardware protocol boards. And I had to compile C code with a weird crappy IBM compiler.
When I left that job I swore I'd never touch anything with IBM stamped on it ever again. Same goes for Lenovo now. |

I've been in that camp too - It's amazing the things IBM can create and utterly screw up at the same time.
I started fixing IBM PC's back in the mid 80's and quickly grew the same resentment as you.
But OS/2 compared to Win95 ... well, I used it. I know. There IS no comparison. OS/2 was the winner from the stability standpoint. But they lost the developer game to MS's FUD (another IBM created "-ism").
It's utterly stupifying to me that what made the PC market EXPLODE (widely available, low cost cards) that KILLED IBM's share in it (that they created BTW, giving away the sch's for the PC design) but kept Apple afloat for so many years -- only to turn hoards of people into lemmings willing to buy anything with an Apple stamp on it, no matter that Apple switched to a Unix variant.
CLOSED HARDWARE. LESS OPTIONS. CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
No one likes being part of those 3 concepts.
But that's Apple -- in a nutshell -- today. IBM got burned on it so many years ago and it's amazing how I hear people complain about the concept (rightfully) -- but yet people still mindlessly stream towards Apple [spam].
So funny..
Sorry - I fell OffTopic in a big way.
