Well... that wasn't so hard. I did all the examples in about an hour - with
time to test them all on my eval board. I figured I was really into an all
nighter - ha!.

If there are any that want some example CCS-C code that follows (very
roughly) the Easy Pic 'N .asm code, let me know and I'll send it out to you.

Please post requests to me offline - if this is wildly popular (ha!) then I
will put it on my web page and post the link.

CCS-C code includes examples of:

1.  Simple LED blinking
2.  Lookup Table in ROM (much cleaner and smaller than a case statement!)
that lights appropriate bars on a 7 Segment Display.
3.  Interrupts using the clock and external input - mostly counting until a
cutoff is reached and then lighting an LED.
4.  Counting, functions, compiler directives, bit rotation, etc.

General information about the code:

The examples use the '84 On A Board' technique that is described in Easy Pic
'N. But comments in the code should let you do all the examples without much
trouble.  Generally, pullup inputs - tie outputs to the appropriate LED, 7
Segment display, or whatever.

I used Peter Anderson's def_f84.h to redefine some of the pins to make them
easier to type in. However, the use of the defines should not take away from
the overall issues.

I started out religiously duplicating the .asm code and found it was way too
easy after the first one - so I added in other things I felt made the
program more friendly and instructive.  The result was that one or two C
examples cover several .asm examples.

One last thing - whenever you are stumped and looking for examples, read the
manual. The back of the CCS manual has some very good tips.
