WOW , I worked all afternoon for a little blinking
program. Until now i tried picbasic pro to hex, MikroC
to hex. I tried 6 different programs in picbasic pro
and 3 in MikroC. All do the same weird effect, They
blink for about 3 seconds to 1 minutes, after that
they stop. 
The loop is forever...
the only one that worked is the hex file I downloaded
from: http://www.voti.nl/blink/index_1.html#16F88
There must be something I do wrong..
here is the code in basic:

loop:   
High PORTB.0          ' Turn on LED connected to
PORTB.0
Pause 500       ' Delay for .5 seconds

Low PORTB.0           ' Turn off LED connected to
PORTB.0
Pause 500       ' Delay for .5 seconds

Goto loop       ' Go back to loop and blink LED
forever
End


and in C:

void main() {
  PORTC = 0;
  TRISC = 0;

 while(1) {
    PORTC =  ~PORTC;
    Delay_ms(1000);
  }
} 

can someone help me ??
there must be some other command to empty the memory 
or some other potential problem 

ken
