Kalle,

Response to your various questions:

1) On a system reset, MPLAB is deallocating and reallocation the space required
for RAM, ROM and any other storage necessary for a part.  System reset is used
to change processors.

2) Since MPASM, MPC, and MPLABC do not support more than one file per compile,
at the moment MPLAB does NOT support multiple files in a project.  The easiest
thing to do if you have a multiple file project is to create a "holder" file and
include all of the other files in that one.

3) I do not have an immediate response to the sim problem, but keep an eye out
for the released version 3.10 it may fix the problem.

4) Your wishes are my command!  We cannot fix the scroll-bar problem right away.
However, the EEPROM window already supports an ASCII mode, check in the system
button for the item entitled "ASCII Display".  Also, the "WindowNext" function
is currently mapped to "Ctrl-F6".  You can change this to "Ctrl-Tab" in the Key
Mappings under Options->Key Mappings.

Pete

Hi All,

A few questions, puzzles and observations.

The new 3.09 project saves your window layout Yay!

The System reset still takes forever and does not give you an hourglass
(you have to keep looking at the status line) what is it doing?
The tracking between the single step and the listing file does not
seem to work at all, it keeps trying to track the asm file and the rest
go west.

How is one supposed to chaneg the working file in a multi file project,
The thing keeps wanting to offer me the first file I started with even
though I have taken it out of the project.  It tries to single step
the WRONG asm file and resists opening the correct listing file (shake head).

Is the MPASM 1.4000 supposed to be installed over the MPASM 1.3 that is
bundled with the MPLAB 3.09 ?

Here is a MSLAB-SIM BUG / PUZZLER
program as follows:
A simple minimal program that does nothing.  On the simulator I cannot get
the data in the special function or RAM displays to change for PORT B
PORT A works and the op codes appear correctly in the listing.  Whats
going on?  Hardware sees pins as inputs correctly.

===== cut =====
        list P=16c84, r=HEX
        include "p16c84.inc"
        __FUSES _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_ON & _HS_OSC
        org     0x000
r_vect
        movlw   0x00
        movwf   PCLATH
        goto    start

        org     0x004
i_vect
        clrf    INTCON
        retfie

start
        bsf     STATUS, RP0
        movlw   0x0ff           ; pins all in
        movwf   TRISB & 0x07f
        bcf     STATUS, RP0
        movlw   0x0ff           ; set pins hi
        movwf   PORTB

stuck
        goto    stuck
        end
===== cut =====

MPLAB WISH LIST :

Make the scroll bars go away from the data windows if they are not required.
Add ASCII view to the EEPROM area as this is often data.
Ctrl-Tab to cycle through the windows.

Thats all that comes to mind now that have not changed since version 3.01

Cheers
