Ummm... someone's missing something here, and it's not me.  Why are you
restating your point?  I understand it.  My point is that they SHOULD be
different than other processors regarding the stack, in order to perhaps be
BETTER than those others.  If people looked at every problem or lack of
product feature and said, "Well, they're ALL like that, I guess I'm out of
luck." then nothing would ever get improved upon.

As I said, why are your products different than others in your market?  If
they're the same, why should I buy yours?  What do you offer that may be an
improvement over similar, if not cheaper, products?  Do you not agree that
maybe an extra bit in an FSR for stack overflow would be helpful to some?

Microchip's ICE goes for $1525.00, plus the cost ($450) for each processor
module you'd like to interface to.  Not a cost I'd spend on a piece of hobby
equipment for one feature (or lack of) which seemingly might be able to be
implemented directly on the chip in a single flag bit.  I need a better
solution than this.

That's my point.
