PIC18F2620 "out of memory"??

[Ron Marcus]

The 'out of memory' message probably refers to your PC's available memory during compilation. PBP does not take advantage of all your PC's available RAM, whilst PBPW does.

There is no 'other' PBP (by 'other' I mean another version you have to purchase)... it's just down to the way you invoke it...

A standard example:-

PBP -p16F876A myprog -v

A large memory example:-

PBPW -p16F876A myprog -v

Actually where you run out of memory is probably dependent on your PC... on mine it happens somewhere between a 4k and 6k compilation. You might as well just run PBPW for everything and not have to worry about it again.

Thanks all. I will try PBP 'Dubya'

OK, I switched over to PBPW and still got the 'out of memory' message around 5900 bytes. Since it was during assembling, and the system uses MPASM, I looked at MPASMWIN. I don't know how to muck around with DOS, so I took the cheesy way out...I changed the names MPASMWIN to MPASM, and MPASM to MPASM1. Now all is well in Whoville! Thanks again for the feedback, and I am seriously thankful for a forum with so much knowledge out there for the asking...
