Yes, that certainly appears to be the case!  Oh well.  Nothing that 
anyone has said has given me much hope on this particular project, so 
guess I will just trashcan the 14000 chip.  (I won't REALLY trashcan it 
-- I will put it in a drawer, along with a little note.  Wonder why 
Microchip disowned it?  Did it cause lung cancer or something?).  Some 
ideas are good, some ideas are bad, and some ideas are in between the 
two.  So will quit multi-tasking and  go back to working on the 
translator (I needed a break, anyway).  The first cut on that is just 
about done, by the way.  All of the 18F452 instructions have now been 
mapped to the appropriate 30F instruction (or instructions, since some 
452 instructions produce 2, or even 3, 30F instructions).   That part 
was tedious --  the rest should be more fun.  :-)  And by  the way, to 
make sort of a strained joke:  Some  time ago, talking about all the 
extra registers on the 30F family, someone asked:  "Of what earthly use 
are all those extra registers??"  OK, here is the answer:  When you are 
writing a translator, they come in handy!  W1 = temporary storage.  W2, 
W3 and W4 used for indirect addressing (take the place of FSR0, FSR1 and 
FSR2), W5 and W6 receive  the results of multiplication (take the place 
of PROD), W7 takes the place of TBLPTR and W8 takes the place of 
TABLAT.  :-)
