I really must be going blind. I pasted my protocol into G24 and have spent the last hour trying to find the @#$!@#!$@ Decode button. 
Ok, time for a blind joke.
This blind fellow walks into a department store and picks up his seeing eye dog by the hind legs and starts swinging him around. The security guard rushes over and asks him what he is doing. The blind man replies, "Oh, just looking around.." 
Sorry about that terrible joke

I presume this means you are using PB v2.0. Unfortunately, the Decode button is invisible in this version for some reason (it's visible only to those who are looking for the $%#&!$|#& Decode button, not the @#$!@#!$@ Decode button). You can invoke it manually from the Tools menu, Macro, Macros [Alt-F8]. Run the DecodeToSetup macro. 8)

Well, it goes something like this...
PB, and its decode logic, was originally setup only for S3C8 code. Then, you and Jason got the bright ideas to add support for P8 and M6 protocols, thus complicating my efforts immensely. 
The decoder still only works for S3 code... so I figured I'd disable the button until I could work out a more generic decoder. If and when I (we) sort it all out, I'll put back the button.
Keep in mind, though, that the decoder is far from perfect, and can only really handle "simple" S3 protocols with no extra logic.

Reminds of the blind man who went parachute jumping. He was asked 'Isnt it dangerous, How do you know when you are about to land?', Well he said, the dog's lead goes slack!

 Glad we could be of service! | Mark Pierson wrote: | | If and when I (we) sort it all out, I'll put back the button. |
Guess we'll have to make that cake large enough to include PB 3.0...
