Hi, Toalan

The answer is in your question ...

IF you want to calculate ... use a real DSP, not an " old all purpose " 16F 877 ... I think Microchip has committed some good ones ...

But you have to use the adapted language for speed, speed , and speed.

A little joke: a high level mathematician from our National research resort ( the CNRS ) , on another list, wanted to show us what is " THE Right programming " ... on the same project, he proposes a 18F1320@40 Mhz ... When I propose a 16F84@ 10Mhz, with extra features, using 1/2 memory !!!

First job is to select the adaquate tool ...don't you think ???

i concider this stange, because when i started with pics, the only thing i found online resembling a pic tutorial was always in assembler, thats why im still struggling with basic the best place i have to learn that is the elaborate manual!(and, of course, this site)

toalan,

Alain has already mentioned it, the problem is not with the compiler, the 16F877 simply is the wrong choice for your kind of application.
