I have been trying to use the Bin_ASC routine from the online Scott Edwards
PICsource book on the Dontronics site. I downloaded the microchip format and
cannot assembly it( ~ 20 errors). I then followed what it said on the site
to do, reconvert the Parallex format ".src" with ParaPic. When I tried it
said I needed the ".lst file". Don't I need the old Parallex Assembler to
get this. I tried their site but I could not get through.

Does anyone know a site with a bunch  of routines like this for the 877.
These ones are for the 16c55 it looks like but it should be fairly easy to
convert over, I think.

Also a question

buffer = 31     ; String buffer at end of memory.
ASC_0 = '0'     ; ASCII numbers: 30h thru 39h.

Does the above assign the value to hex 31 to a variable called "buffer" and
assign the value to hex 30 to a variable called "ASC_0"  or does it set up a
register called "buffer" at hex address 31 and set a register called "ASC_0"
at hex address 30 ('0"). Is "=" the same as "equ"

Thanks
