Scott: Thats not hardware independence! Try running Solaris on an HP machine, or AIX on a DEC Alpha.
When you "port the code over" on UNIX, 90% of your time will be spent dealing with hardware or system differences!
Back on Topic: :)
Hopefully the Philips Software will let you save to disk your Pronto's settings, including the actual IR commands you may "learn" from other remotes.
We (and other 'net users) will be able to pass configurations around, and just tweak them to our own needs. You also should never have to go back to the original remotes (if you still have them) as the info will be backed up. We could even share the separate "On" and "Off" codes for equipment, without all of us having to get a "OneForAll" type remote as well.
Or maybe Philips themselves will come up with a way of accessing/sending these codes from within the Proto software.
