MPLAB isn't completely bad, but there are times..... -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drew Vassallo" To: Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 3:13 PM Subject: Re: [PIC]: Slow simulation speed in MPLAB > >It seems that simulations in MPLAB are very slow, I tried to simulate a 24 > >bit counting program, and it takes forever to run.
