Re: FLASH: Flash Functionality Verification

[John Andrew Morrison]

Thanks John,


And I agree it is serious, the missing pieces for me are:


1) How does flash receive and store an entire file not in

    the standard key=value format written directly to it.


2) How do you access the information once it is recieved?


Thanks,

John Andrew Morrison
