Hi,

I have a little problem using MPLAB to create a file for programming in a
serial EEPROM.  MPLAB does not seem to handle labels correctly when
compiling for EEPROM's.  I have the folowing source file:

    List P=EEPROM8

Test_H:
        DB "Header String",0
Test:
        DB 5
        DB Test_1 & 0FFh
        DB Test_2 & 0FFh
Test_1:
        DB "1. String1",0
Test_2:
        DB "2. String2",0

When I compile this, I get the following .lst file

                    00001         List P=EEPROM8
                    00002
0000                00003 Test_H:
0000 48 65 61 64 65 00004         DB "Header String",0
     72 20 53 74 72
     69 6E 67 00
0007                00005 Test:
000E 05             00006         DB 5
000F 08             00007         DB Test_1 & 0FFh
0010 0E             00008         DB Test_2 & 0FFh
0008                00009 Test_1:
0011 31 2E 20 53 74 00010         DB "1. String1",0
     72 69 6E 67 31
     00
000E                00011 Test_2:
001C 32 2E 20 53 74 00012         DB "2. String2",0
     72 69 6E 67 32
     00

If you look at the label Test, you'll see that its address is wrong (7
instead of 0E)!  The other labels all do the same.  MPLAB is dividing the
label address by 2.  It probably thinks it is still compiling for a PIC
where one address occupies two bytes (ok, 1 and a bit of the next).

Am I doing something wrong?  Does anybody know of a workaround?  I have
version 3.31 of MPLAB.  Could someone please try this on the newest MPLAB
for me?

Thanks!
Niki
