I'm pleased to report that I've finally caught up with all file area submissions - so if you've sent in a remote control-related file in the past while, it's now online and available for download.

In addition, there are two new sub-sections in the Other Files area, for device IR code sheets and device RS-232 protocol sheets. These are meant to collect and archive original IR & RS-232 command lists as supplied by the manufacturer, which can then be used (sometimes after a bit of decoding) with any remote control system. If the demand for this section grows, they will be given their own separate file area.

As always, please send in your remote control files to share with the community!
