Hi all,

Yes.  Currently my project is at 

            55824 out of 66584 program addresses used, program memory
utilization is 83%

With all optimizations on.  I haven't been able to use debug mode for some
time now.

However, the idea of turning on debug in only one file hadn't occurred to
me.  Good idea if it's possible.  Much of the space in my application is
text strings for status out the serial port as the system operates.  I turn
most of that off this way:

#ifdef FULL_DIAGNOSTICS
#define DEBUGSTR(s) printf((far rom char *)s)
#else
#define DEBUGSTR(s) 
#endif

The Electronic Lead Screw runs a 23kHz timer giving me an interrupt every
43uS.  Optimization is critical there since there are times when almost all
of that 43uS is used inside the interrupt routine.  Outside that an LCD is
updated periodically with floating point values so the float to string
functions and everything involved with floating point take a lot of space.
