gnupic: Thread: Where is picp now?

Hello,

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, and to my surprise the "picp" package 
is no more available. It also seems that the web page of Jeff Post is no 
more available at http://home.pacbell.net/theposts/picmicro/.

I did found the picp-0.6.8.tar.gz on some sites, but no more the 
official site. Is there such a site now, or is my Picstart+ too 
deprecated. The Microchip site calls it "mature" :-).

Otherwise I will have to bite the bullet and open a page on Sourceforge 
or another site...

The other possibilities are to use MPLAB for Linux or my pickit 2, but 
in either cases it involves changes to rarely used projects (code, 
Makefiles), which I rather not do.

Thanks,


Maxime Larocque

You may want to contact Jeff Post to see if he has an updated site or
not.

Yet another option is to use piklab (GUI and console) which
has supports for PicStart+/

You can always use pk2cmd under Linux.
