Allen,
     I try this and it won't compile. I have also tried it with=20
prototypes and I receive the same error messages. I fix one problem and=20
end up with more. Well I'm getting there. All of the help has been=20
greatly appreciated.
Thanks, rich!
Here are the error messages:

I get these messages with the code from the timer calculator. Please=20
help me?
Thanks,
rich!

This is the complete code:

//    Includes go here
#include <pic16f684.h>

//    Prototypes go here
void ourdelay(int time);
//void InitTimer1();
//void Interrupt1();
