Geesh, Pierce... I wanted to stay out of this but what you said is simply not possible given an experienced assembler programmer. I use a mix of low and high-level languages depending on the task at hand. For the PIC, I use assembler though I am considering a C compiler but that would relate to productivity and not the quality of code. - Tom >At 06:58 PM 10/8/97 -0400, Pierce Nichols wrote: >>On Wed, 8 Oct 1997, Alan G.
