But I did use SDCC successfully on my own projects for PIC16 and PIC18. I did give up on C for 16F and learned assembly only because of timing issues, not because SDCC produced bad or buggy code. Unfortunately, I can't answer the OP's question but I'm sure he can modify the hex file before programming. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
