No offense to Olin, of course. Oh... Yeah... Because I'm sure I want to read and manipulate a flash memory table while I'M TRYING TO CLEAR THE RAM! Perhaps I should have read more before making that comment. However, I wasn't wrong in noting that the PIC doesn't have what is necessary for this operation. I was refering to a special add-on to an addressing mode used by some slightly more advanced processors. It's a mode where you specify one of the accumulators (yes, there are 5 (maybe 6) seperate registers that are all useable as indexes on some processors, 2 of which are 8-bit, and the rest are 16) to act as an index, and then you can specify an offset from that address, or do a pre/post increment/decrement by any value up to 9 bits.(I think. I haven't looked at the specifics in 5 months) Any time an instruction with a pre/post increment/decrement is used, the specified index register is incremented/decremented by the specified value, andstored back to itself. I'm sure that you can see the value of that kind of addressing when attempting to handle larger blocks of data. You know, having 1k of RAM minimum? - --Brendan (*)Olinize - (verb) - (2) the act of instructing a person who has asked a question to return to a previous level of educational instruction.
