Oh, you mean like the Microchip MAL ??? So many conditional statements to t= ake care of differences between C18 and C30/32, and differences between act= ual chip functionality that some of the library units get quite convoluted. Sometimes I think the only way to understand it is to pass it through a pre= -processor with the required conditionals set, and see what you get out the= end. =20 --=20 Scanned by iCritical. --=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 .
