*RS232Probe:  Runs, not too bad, not robust against error and not all features running.

*BitWacker Command GUI: Got my BitWacker and tested.  First bunch of API runs, now based on character processing, would like to allow decimal hex and binary input and input validation of fields, not there yet

*Testers wanted:  I would like to see if someone can simply get it installed and run on their computer.  Contact me [[russ_hensel]].
