I think so.  The note from my log says "Ported LedDriver to mikroC.  Wow 
- uses twice as much ROM!"

The descendant of this program - pretty similar, I think - uses 925 
words in BoostC.  As I recall, it was also around 1K in PICC Lite, and 
around 2K in mikroC.

I assumed at the time that the code generator was common between mikroC 
and Pascal.

I should have done a more detailed analysis, but I needed to move ahead. 
  I remember glancing at the source and thinking "Wow, THAT's wasteful!" 
but I can't remember what 'that' was.
