Post by thread:Cannot read Microchip PDF files!

Hi! I'm new to this group, and have just purchased a PIC16C84. I live in Japan, so all the data sheets that came with it are in Japanese. Not really convenient. OK, download the datasheets from Microchip www site. Unfortunatley, when I do so, my acrobat reader (for Windoze) says they have been damaged, are being fixed, and then says that they are password protected... I download the files using Netscape V2.0, on UNIX. In Microchip www site, it says that you should set up Netscape to successfully download the .pdf files, but my version of Netscape does not seem to have the necessary setup options... Can anybody help? Thanks in advance... PS: I am new to the PIC series, but not to microprocessors, computers etc. PPS: An ftp site that has the Microchip www site documents would be just fine. | Ahmet ONAT Kyoto Univ.

Onat: This is usually an indication that you've downloaded the file in 7-bit (ASCII) mode, rather than 8-bit (Binary) mode. -Andy Andrew Warren - fastfwdKILLspamix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499
