From 1995 when I got onto the PICmicro bandwagon, I started writing the=20
code in assembly and till date I code in assemble for 10F, 12F, 16F and=20
18F series. I love it for I know what my PICmicro will do !!!

I have saved most of the libraries that I have created and also used the=20
libraries from stalwart's like Nixon, Datallo, Myke and others.

For 90% of my projects, coding in assembly is the way for I know how my=20
PICmicro will work !!!. The other 10% I reject the projects :-D.

Cheers

Ravi
