Sounds like BoostC and HiTech are both about as efficient as you can get, without user intervention. When I put LCDTerm on the web I wanted to make sure it would compile with PICCLITE, and noticed that it used about 5% more ROM than the paid-for version of HiTech C. Ram usage was the same between the two. Cheers, Bob -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
