"Board voltage too low" message

Some of our users have been getting a "board voltage too low" message when using the PPP utility to download programs to the PICmicro Multiprogrammer E-Block (EB-006). Once the warning is dismissed, the program will download and run ok. This issue may affect the V3 Development Board as well (HP-488).
It is caused by a small tolerance issue with some of the calculations within PPP which are exacerbated by recent changes to the hardware.
The "Board voltage is too low" warning message can safely be ignored. If it gets too annoying, there is a work-around as follows:
This unnecessary message can be removed by replacing the following line in the "PPP_SCRIPT_DATA.CFG" file...
...with this one...
The CFG file can be found in the same directory as the PPPv3.exe
