<< The example 'IF bit_count then si2c_rbyte_lp'  is dirty piece of code.  Why
 ? because we use a register that should hold only 2-state's (True & False)
 as a
 counter (256 states for  Byte-counter).  It works fine because if the
 counter == 0 it will _logically_ be equal to a True.  If the counter is
 anything else than a 0 it will, again logically, be equal to a False.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, BUT I AM REALLY CONFUSED NOW. I WILL STUDY YOUR
EXPLANATION IN DETAIL. I THOUGHT IF BIT_COUNT WAS ANY VALUE OTHER THAN 0 IT IS
TRUE AND WILL BRANCH

 'IF bit_count then si2c_rbyte_lp'
