Maybe we should talk to Microchip and ask them to make a PIC with NO internal hardware except A/D converter. Then they could spend all money on codespace

When selecting a PIC, functions, performance and price has to be matched. This DEBUG project became a bit big for a 16F877A and I only pay 2.5 USD more for the 18F4620 so why not?? As for using DEBUG in the new PIC, the idea was to reuse the old program without changing too much. Functions in PBP, as I see it, are here for the user to use, if you want small and fast write ASM.

The only change I had to do was some ADC settings and change in the MPLAB file, I am happy, my product is happy and the only thing to remember is to change the MPLAB file everytime I upgrade. This is also true for all the changes you have to do if you want the CONFIG settings to be included in you program but that is an other story. Maybe we really should talk to Microchip about some things.
