Hello, I seem to be a little confused on which PICs can use 16 bit variables and which ones cannot. I am interested in using a PIC16F88 with PICBasicPro. The data sheet for the PIC16F88 mentions 16 bit words in memory but I was wondering if that means I can actually use 16 bit variables with this PIC or not.

Is there a general rule on how to find out if a PIC you are interested in can use 16 bit variables?

Thanks.
