Very nice!

Thank you. :-)

But, are you convinced he used more than the general idea (bit-banging on COM)?

I am not absolutely convinced, since he only provides the executable and not the source code. But my examination of the binary turned up some evidence to suggest more commonality than just "the general idea". And if he did use more than the general idea, other than it lacking proper attribution, I'm not particularly miffed. After all, I wrote the thing 8 years ago only because ISP software was not available like it is today. Besides, I have much more challenging problems to occupy my time nowadays than to fret about whether proper attribution was given.

I got a bit of a chuckle when comparing the striking similarities, both the visible and the not so obvious, and that was more of what drove me to post.
