Controlling Timers in PIC

[NO2K]

Thanks Joe!! That is terrific info.
The end task I had in mind is to clk tmr1 from a noise clocking source (random clock pulses), then sample the timer count every 5 seconds or so and display the number on an LCD....i.e. a random number generator between 0 and 65535. Why? Someone challenged me to do it! Your info could easily be used with other applications....thanks again!

I forgot to mention I am using the 16F870 PIC
