Should be fairly simple from what >I see of the INHX8M file format. Why is this useful? Just by looking at the listing out of the compiler you can see how many bytes are used. Or, when you program the chip, you can just look at the last address used. Maybe I'm missing something, but I guess I've never really had a problem with wondering how many bytes are used. In MPLAB, you can see the program memory listing, which shows all the locations used, up to the maximum of the chip. --Andrew _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
