    Default thanks! problem solved!

    Thank you gentlemen,

    what I had (crucially!) forgotten to add, was that the program on the pic would stop working entirely when the more than two segments were on at a time. I have since found that it must be due to the PIC's current sourcing limitations (is this correct?). Regardless, I have added some CD4050BE buffers and now it all works fine.

    I really appreciate your time and expertise. thank you.

    Ps Not using a LCD as I don't have one! Beside, there's something appealing, almost 'retro' about 7 segment displays I find....
