I'm sorry but that's crazy.  Why on earth are you showing tenths of a 
foot?  Either use meters, in which case you can use tenths (as meters 
are base10)/  If you want to use feet, then I would think that you 
should show inches as the smaller unit (1/12).  You can use the correct 
indicators also.  ' indicates feet, " indicates inches.

Sorry I can't help you with the code, I have never touched PicBasic.  It 
looks pretty mixed up, maybe you should learn C or ASM instead, there 
would certainly be more help available if you did.
