Presetting Configuration Fuses (PIC Defines) into your Program

[Darrel Taylor]

Well, I was finally forced to upgrade MPASM. And along with it came the dreaded __CONFIG has been deprecated warning. So I figured .. No problem, these guys have already figured it out.

But after trying everything out, and having to modify include files in the include files each time I compile a program that needs a different config, espescially when my programs already have all the config statements in them, just wasn't working out very well. And the thought of having to modify every program I've ever written, to use the new Config syntax, was leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

Fortunately, the old __CONFIG directives still work. The __CONFIG has been deprecated warning, is just that.   A warning.   And Warnings can be turned off.   So until Microchip decides to make it not work anymore, what I'm doing is to add this line to the .inc file for the chip it's being compiled for.

Then everything works just like it always has.
