Anybody know where is the support software for the Xbee Tutorial?

I'm trying to work my way through the Xbee tutorial (V1.0.1) and I'm on page 44 where it says to use Simple_Debug.bs2, but I haven't been able to find a copy of that software anywhere, not even via Google. I'm guessing we aren't expected to manually type in every piece of software used in these tutorials, so could somebody please tell me where the software for this tutorial might be hiding out?

Many thanks.

Xbee Tutorial guide is here:

    It looks like the source code is right there on page 44 of that PDF ?!?!

    Copy and paste looks like the way to go.

    Yes, I suppose cutting and pasting is an option, but I'm not very confident that all the characters will be copied properly and if any Propeller code is involved, I wonder what will happen to the indentation, etc. I guess I can try that, but it surprises me there isn't a formal file so that all the spacing, etc. is guaranteed to remain intact.

    Maybe the authors have the code stashed away somewhere.

    I am planning on going thru that tutorial as well.

    Maybe in the .zip file here?

    Appears to have code for chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7

    Rick,

    your "here" link doesn't seem to go anywhere, at least not on my browser. Did something get left out?

    I think that's the file - no wonder a search could not find the BS2 file - it was in the zip!

    Thanks guys, now I guess I need to go through the tutorial TOO, since I found everything and downloaded it to my PC!!

    Wonder what I'd do with my spare time if I didn't hang around here??

    Jeepers! Stupid me. How on earth did I miss that link on the Xbee page? For the past half hour, I've been a cut-and-pasting fool. But you saved my butt just in time for me to enter the Propeller section. Whew!

    Thanks guys!
