Hello Bot,

Bot
Small Code!!!!!!

You've obviously never used another language.
<chuckle> You know what assume means don't you???

I programmed Philip Micrchips for many years. Assembly. Pure. Using UV light for 20 min on a 80C series MCU so that you hopefully erased the thing... else you couldn't reprogram it...had to re-erase it for another 20 mins.

I have tried other compilers...One thing you may have forgotten... Each compiler has its own way of optimizing code. One compiler may optimize a certain bit of code better than another... and vise versa...

But! you are correct...If the compiler suits you... use it!... and PBP is extremely reliable and bullet proof... I want 100 percent reliablity and small code. Not 99 percent reliability and a phone call from someone saying its not working correctly.
