I looked over the source file you attached, and the person that wrote it
seems to have used a horrible mix of Microchip assembly and 8051 assembly
mnemonics. This will not compile in any version (that I know of) of MPLAB.

Your best bet would be to try and contact the person who wrote the code and
see what assembler they used. You could also port this to code to Microchip
assembly. :(

There were even references to "rtcc" in the code, weird...

Take care, Matthew.
