Tom:

This has been fixed in CVASM16 version 5.8.  You can get this 11Kbyte file at:

ftp://ftp.tech-tools.com/cvasm16.zip

The manual updates you suggested were incorporated in Version 8 of our Pic
Tools.  This is a large file (about 1.8MBytes) but you can get it at:

ftp://ftp.tech-tools.com/pictool8.pdf

I'll post this to the Parallax list as well.
