Using the HiTech compiler this gave a total of 263 words, of which 19 are
used for ram initialisation etc. giving 244 words of ROM and 12 bytes of
RAM.  Six words more ROM and one word less RAM, pretty close I think.

The ASM list file is a bit messy (and long).  Do any of you hitech users
know if it's possible to just get an assembly listing without all the C code
in it?  I'll post it if you want though.

BTW there's an unused variable Local4 in the TestIf function.
