I have just spent 4 hours trying to work out why a routine wasn't=
 working using the trusted light a LED method.

I isolated all the previously working parts, 3 LED's later I know=
 the routine is entered, I know the routine is exited, still it=
 doesn't work. I rewrite the routine no luck.
Pop off to watch the midday news, come back and the solution to=
 the problem is writ large. I had written-

PORTA^0x02;

INSTEAD of PORTA^=3D0x02;

Didn't even pick it up from the .LST file!

Sigh - still at least I didn't spend 2 weeks trying to find out=
 why a Diplexor Amp board worked on the test bench but not in=
 situ.
The Engineers even redesigned the circuit and PCB.

No one had thought to run the bench test on a completed unit -=
 somebody on the assembly floor realised the PCB stuffing compamy=
 had left some of the leads too long, so they were shorting out=
 on the Low Pass filter frame.
