Jon,

 I too have thought seriously about making it work using assembly.
 I don't see the need for anything to have to be absolutely coded
 in 'C'.   Regardless of the application.   And I have been using
 assembly for a long enough time to be able to make the PIC do just
 about anything I want it to with only a little trouble.  So, if you
 want to work on this, count me in.   Let me know how you need me to
 do, and we'll go from there.


                                            Regards,

                                              Jim
