From a recent thread, events are so broken you can't even link
CPU.Hz1 to an LED.

HOWEVER, I have this code running on a B.2.2+ chip and it WAS
compiled with V6:

' Code for V6 of compiler

Dim BLINK As New oEvent
Dim WIRE As New oWire
Dim LED As New oDIO1

Sub Main()
LED.IOLine = 7
LED.Direction = cvOutput
WIRE.Input.Link(ooPIC.Hz1)
WIRE.Output.Link(BLINK.Operate)
WIRE.Operate = cvTrue
End Sub

Sub BLINK_Code()
LED = cvOn
ooPIC.Delay = 250
LED = cvOff
ooPIC.Delay = 250
End Sub

I wouldn't necessarily buy into the problem being totally V6
related. I might believe V6 & C.1.1 combined are an issue. Or, more
likely, I wouldn't believe any of it unless I tested it myself.

Is there any way you can get your hands on B.2.2+ chips? Depending
on you time requirements, perhaps

Tim has always shipped
my stuff pretty quick.

If you get B.2.2+ chips, there is no reason NOT to back up to V5. It
certainly lacks the 'gee whiz' objects and features of V6 and it has
warts but, for the most part, it works and its' deficiencies are well
understood.
