    Hi,

    The good question is to see the word length ...

    program space is 1 K Words, Ok ... but those words are ?? bits wide ...

    Good question eh ???

    But without seeing what you wrote ... how do you want us to help you more ???

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    Default What is a "word"?

    > Another compiler I used to use, told the total program amount of bytes used, and how much variable ram memory was used, too bad PBP does not. Like you said, what is a "word"? Is it a memory term?

    You need to look at the data sheet to see if the word is 14 or 16 bits.
    PBP does tell you all of the info. It is in the LST file.

    But I agree. It is sometimes difficult comparing one PIC to another.
