Does anyone have a copy of "Extended_FDSerial.spin"?

I downloaded “NewHaven_Serial_LCDS.zip” file from Propeller
Object Exchange listed as  “Newhaven
Serial LCD Display driver” that was posted by  Ron Czapala. 
There are two files but the demo file requires "Extended_FDSerial.spin" this file is executed and then the next line has a delay with the following comment "Pause for FullDuplexSerial.spin to initialize".
I don't see anything else that executes "FullDuplexSerial.spin" so I can't help wonder if the line before was meant to load "FullDuplexSerial.spin" instead of what the object has listed as "Extended_FDSerial.spin".
I will replace "FullDuplexSerial.spin" with "Extended_FDSerial.spin" in the object declaration and see what happens.  However if this is true it should be corrected in order to avoid confusion because it will not compile otherwise and forces people to make "assumptions" and how I hate that word.

Curios as to why that didn't get into the OBEX?

To be perfectly honest, I forget where I got it, but I knew I had it

I had it on my hard drive as well. Must have downloaded it at on time.

It's a shame when all objects aren't zipped in one file.

I would expect that originally the author used FullDuplexSerial before changing to the Extended version and the comment was not updated accordingly. When code differs from the comment you should presume the comment is wrong.

I want to thank you all.  I'll try this out tomorrow and try it with "Extended_FDSerial.spin"
