TONY NIXON 54964 wrote about crunching code into limited ROM.

Congratulations.

I wish there were decent design tools for assembly programming.

I don't mean just an assembler, but something that would
- point out where registers can do double duty
- point out potential stack overflows
- manage code and data paging
- etc.
so that I can concentrate on the application and not the
intricacies of the chip.

Compilers do a lot of automated code generation and checking.
It would be nice to have the same sophistication for assembly.

For me, limited resources are just one challenge.
I want to know if the code I write is flawed or not.
Recalling product with duff code is more expensive than
paying for slightly bigger PICs!
