Don,

It's the "PBASIC" Compiler by Micro Engineering Labs.  I was a little
reluctant to include the name because I didn't want it to be perceived that
I am knocking them.  My question really was, what is the current state of
Compiler technology and are these results representative of what's available?

Just out of curiosity, *is* Scott Edwards on this List Group and should he
be invited to join (Seeing as how he has established himself as an expert on
the Stamp and other things PIC-related)?
