While I certainly agree with this as a general rule... > C works just fine on the 8 bit PICs, I am not so sure this applies to the 8-bit PICs, particularly the base and mid-range ones. The argument is also somewhat irrelevant, because any hobbyist who wants to use C to target a small cheap processor should really just pick an ARM, or even a 16 or 32 bit PIC. -p. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
