Isaac,

I couldn't get your link to open but am interested in seeing your approach.

For PIC12 and PIC16 the type of applications that are implemented
can usually be implemented used compile time re-use of RAM space.

This is even more so in applications that are implemented as event
driven run to completion applications whose RAM requirements
are both predictable and typically less. (Response time average is
better fastest is lower that other approaches.)

Some of the PIC18 applications can benefit from dynamic memory
allocation.

Most embedded real time allocations do not want dynamic
memory allocation because failure often affects more of the
application functionality than the alternatives. (Just ask
the anti lock brake systems that were failing in the mid 80's
if dynamic allocation is a good idea)

Walter..
