OK I did, and you're right RES can now be used in absolute mode. This did not used to be the case, and I wasn't aware that had changed. However, in DS33014H on page 115 section 4.56.2 it says "in non-relocatable mode, label is assumed to be a program memory address". This means that even the new revised version of RES can not be used to allocate variables in absolute mode, which is what the original question was about. ****************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, (978) 742-9014. #1 PIC consultant in 2004 program year. http://www.embedinc.com/products -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
