switching gears to a diff project....

I am using a 4.9152MHz crystal, and part of what I need to do is do some
timing delays like 30 seconds, 1 hour, a day and 30 days.

So I figured the easiest way is to have registers that decremented for
minute, for hour, for day, etc.

HOWEVER....looking at the prescaler values for say TMR0, if I use this
crystal (that someone else said...use this and it will work fine) each state
cycle is .813uS (approx) and if I use the 1:256 prescale I get 208.33mS for
each tic for TMR0 and since its just an 8bit value, I can't get one second,
best I can get is 1/32 of a second.  And of course thats fine, I get the
TMR0 interupt and dec a register,etc.  Now also someone mentioned to me
about using the CCP but I don't quite follow how that might help
