Does XC8 have simple syntax for storing and retrieving multi-byte=20 variables to/from the EE ? I do not want to associate a variable directly with the EE space. I=20 simply want to store a 16-bit value at an address (uses 2 locations) and=20 get it back. I know I can do break it up, store high and low byte separately and do=20 the reverse to get it back, but surely there is a multi-byte function=20 already built in? For Atmel programming I use ee_write_block and ee_read_block for uint16t=20 values (and structures, etc), but can't see anything like that in XC8.
