Running an LCD on different port

[malc-c]

Quick question..(hopefully)

In the PBP manual it details the use of PortB to interface with a 2 x 16 LCD.

PBP assumes the LCD is connected to specific pins unless told otherwise. It assumes the LCD will be used with a 4-bit bus with data lines DB4 - DB7 connected to PICmicro PORTA.0 - PORTA.3, Register Select to PORTA.4 and Enable to PORTB.3.

It is also preset to initialize the LCD to a 2 line display.

To change this setup, place one or more of the following DEFINEs, all in upper-case, at the top of your PICBASIC PRO™ program:

' Set LCD Data port
DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTB
' Set starting Data bit (0 or 4) if 4-bit bus
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 4
' Set LCD Register Select port
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTB

If I wanted to use PORTC for the LCD display on a 16F873A PIC would the following work if the wiring was the same as shown in the manual (obviously substituting RA1 for RC1 etc)?

' Set LCD Data port
DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTC
' Set starting Data bit (0 or 4) if 4-bit bus
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 4
' Set LCD Register Select port
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTC

is there anything eles I would need to do to configure PORTC on the PIC other than TRISC=%00000000, for arguments sake disabling the rx / tx on ports RC7 and 6 ?
