I was just trying to point out that I wish MPASM *required* mandatory explicit radix specification for constants by eliminating the RADIX control directive. I feel that eliminating the RADIX control directive from MPASM would eliminate the problems of code having constants whose radix depends on the RADIX directive or lack thereof (default radix is hex). I get around this by never using the RADIX control directive. Best regards, Ken Pergola -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
