Hi Bob,

Thank you for your quick reply.  The numbers are 8-bits from four ADC (so
they are unsigned).  I would like to write the code in MPLAB assembly
language (35 instructions).  The speed or memory is not very important.

The memory location I called "RESULT" stores the information which tell me
which number is the biggest, big, small, and smallest.

For your information, the inputs of the ADCs are from four CdS photoresistor
cells and basically I want to determine where the brightest or darkest spot
is.

Sincerely,
Thomas
