I guess a shoul= d > be RAM consumption, or is it ambigu by design? That is my reaction as well. Is code space considered as ROM, or are we tal= king as being on a mainframe here, in which case a and a are equivalent (an= d therefore confusing). Or maybe the answer is a and b are considered alway= s both correct. --=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 .
