Re: BSC spec query

["g8kmh" <g8kmh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's from the BSC 1.3 spec PDF document, page 5......

http://downloads.xapautomation.org/documents/BSCv13.pdf

Also there's a typo on page 8, para 2 which I think should be
xAPBSC.query and then another para should be added for the case where
an xAPBSC.cmd results in no change of status.

In the plug in I'm testing, a DMX interface, how addressing works in
real life is going to be pretty important.

Interestingly, the BSC spec says that all devices must respond to
target=*.*.> which isn't the quite the same as >:>

As a Tivo user I'm looking forward to the JPEGWriter, I've had a play
with the windoze app.
