@ the risk of the C vs Assembler debate.......

1. Portability (ooh, that old chestnut)
2. Quick (first) to market (Yes, we all know that if you have a massive
library of assembler "functionality" because you have been doing it for
5x10^6 years that can be bolted together, that is as fast as developing in
C. However, for people new to the device...................)
3. Universally understood - not everyone understands PIC assembler,
especially where people are new to a project or they have to 'pic'k
something up when the "PIC wizard" has left abruptly.

Don't get me wrong, assembler should be used over C where necessary....
