Using MPASM, you need to use "OPTION_REG" as the name of the register. The use of this is to prevent confusion with the OPTION instruction of the 12 bit family, but does cause some confusion of its own. Check the .INC file to see the standard names for these registers. -- ___________________________ | Darrel Johansen | | tempe, arizona | | darrelj@primenet.com | |_________________________|
