Hi Andy,

I miss not having R/ICE too.

Assuming you have some spare pins then:

        bcf test_port,current_routine (identifing pin)
code_block
        ;.......
        bcf test_port,current_routine

then scope it out or test with Piezo and/or LEDs

(for each suspect(and ought to be working) routine.)


alternativly:

Activate watchdog + set test_val (spare file register) with different
values

on entry to each code routine.

On startup (could be watchdog reset), send test_val date out using a
pretested
serial routine.

hook serial to PC & hey presto! "last code visited" ID in test_val.
