SNIP!

This is what he asked for. Then you went on a rant, and went ballistic. That is what started all the BS.

"From reading about JP1, it looks like you need to know the hex codes. Is there a tool that will take a CCF file and dump them into a HEX format (so I could load them manually with the IR program)."

It was a simple request, where all he asked for was about converting CCF files to HEX format, all that was needed was to tell him what he needed. He did NOT ask anyone to convert the files for him, just if there was a program to do so.

And I'd just about bet, if he never would have mentioned a MX-500 as his goal. You would have just answered without the rant.
