A year ago I began my years' - long quest to learn and implement a high =20
level language just one more time. I chose Jalv2, 'cause it is so=20
similar to Pascal, the only  HHL I loved as a young engineer (TP3, in=20
fact, then TP4/5) .

So, I wanted to test Jalv2 by rewriting a already-running MPASM=20
application into Jalv2. After about 40 hours spent on a program that=20
only took 12 hours to assemble and debug in MPASM7x a few years ago,=20
I've had to toss in the towel, for now.

There is a serious flaw in CASE, but I can't find it. I repeatedly=20
stepped through the compiler output which LOOKED ok using MPLAB8.5 SIM.=20
The code looked goofy (all HLL's look goofy to an
ASM programmer) but ran without error in the SIM. But it never did a=20
thing in real time.  I then began to systematically strip out routines=20
until it made a few squeaks. The operation I clipped out was the single=20
CASE.

I KNOW the problem is in me, but I am very discouraged. I think the=20
answer is some way to place breakpoints in the Jalv2 code. I was unable=20
to find anything. Is there anything?

I know that Mr Hammerling and so many others have worked like slaves on=20
Jalv2.

Guys, just give me a few hints.
