Hello all,

        I know this question will bring a hailstorm of advice and
comments about which assembler(s) are best.  I am going to ask it
anyway.  I have been using the Parallax assembler (PASM) to generate
16C57 code.  In several instances my code has grown large enough to
utilize most of the program memory as well as the RAM in the PIC.  I have
found that it gets very confusing trying to manage all the bank switching
and all required for the 16C57.

        Does the Microchip assembler (MPASM) offer any features which
simplify this dilemma?  ie, can it be set up to automate the bank
switching from within the assembler?

Thanks for your comments,
