Very true, still you can check the generated list file. I don't know, I got so annoyed by paging and banking issues that for me the linker is the only way. Perhaps if there wasn't any relocatable code I wouldn't be using Microchip's stuff anyway. I do recognise that everyone is a universe apart, and there is no end to preferences from different people. Many people produce much better code using absolute code than others using relocatable code, and vice versa. The tools are not what matters, but the man behing them, I think. Don't you?
