So, having had a couple of responses saying that CCP would be useful
for this, I thought I'd better do a bit of research into CCP (given
that I hadn't heard of it before). It certainly looks interesting,
although from Microchip's website I can only see it available on
some of the 18F* chips? Is that correct? If so, I might have to do
without CCP and do it the more manual approach as I was hoping to
do this on one of the small 8-pin 12F629 (or similar) chips.

Thanks,
Matt
