thanks alot,

ok is it possible then to get the 0000 format instead of the 5000 format this way i can at least skip a step. will your makehex program do that? also I did what is said to do as far as dragging the RC5.irp file over the .exe file it tells me it is from an unknown publisher i say OK i see a small box flick for half a second on the screen then it is gone. tell me more how to work this thing.
