Tom, That's ok no problem by the way hi-tide is a simulator made By hi-tech it is better then mplab. Andre -----Original Message----- Hi Andre That was just a small joke about the phrase "hi-tide". Maybe you used a spell checker and it turned Hi-tec into hi-tide??? Maybe not. To answer your question, no, I was not making fun of your question. Just a bit of fun about the phrasing. As to your question, maybe if you tell everyone just what type of errors you get from your compiler, maybe someone will know what is going on and can help you. Many people on this list use the Hi-tec compiler and will probably have an answer. As it turns out, you are ahead of me: I only use assembly language so can not offer any valuable answers about complilers. Just an occasional humourous comment...
