Hello,
I'm trying to make a simple timing loop which will run more than 255
times.  I need 0.1us precision, so I'm using inline asm in a PICbasic
program.  The number of times the loop will run will vary from 0 to 9999.
I'm using a 20MHz clock speed.

How can I access the individual bytes of a defined word variable?

This is my 'AccuratePause' routine right now.  It seems to give a ~4
second pause regardless of the Pause length input.

temp    var     word
temp2   var     byte

AccuratePause:
Asm
APmpl:  movlw   99
        movwf   _temp2
APlp:   decfsz  _temp2,1
        goto    APlp
        nop
        nop
APdn:   decfsz  _temp+1,1
        goto    APmlp
        decfsz  _temp,1
        goto    APmlp
Endasm
        Return

The _temp+1 and _temp are guesses as to how I should access the bytes.  I
tried flipping them as well with the same results.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.  This being my first post; I
hope I haven't done anything wrong.

Dave
