files and sources can be found in the files section of the Yahoo ARMexpress Group .
There is an effort to port this to Python going on, contact Coridium if you
would like to help.

serial port is required
- The documentation is available in HTML format so
anything with a browser should be capable of using it.
- Parallels on Mac OS X runs with the WinXP
utilities. OS X version of Tcl does not currently support serial devices
so we have not been able to port our utilities to run natively on the Mac.
