I would appreciate if some one could answer the following :

1- knowing that pic16f84 has only 1K of program memory, how many
assembly instructions LINES does that mean ?

i am using both CSS c-lang. and microchip assembler to program the pic,
i built a little program in c_lang that includes assembler instruction
but i found out that it was taking at least 2-5K of total c_lang program
which is 2-5k of generated assebler code and hex codes. The pic as i
know takes only 1K of program memory so i decided to sheft to the
pic16c76 which has 8K of program memory but before i do that i just need
to if my guess was right that PIC16F84 is not good candidate for program
with alot of lines of instructions.



thankyou
