Hi Dwayne,
Yes, you (and almost everyone else) read it the way I intended. :-)

I've now looked at the 18F & 24F series, and for now the 18F seems the=20
way to go. Some of the extra instructions do seem useful.

If I was into C programming, migrating may be easier. At present I just=20
don't "get" C, so I write in assembly. I do quite like knowing what=20
every register and bit does.

Unlike some list members, for me PIC programming is only a small portion=20
of my business activities. I just don't have enough hours in the day to=20
make quantum leaps in technology. Thanks everyone for their input.
David...
