yeah. after once again and more carefully reading through the PBP manual, i have finally found the information about 'what all' files go into a typical pic basic compile... and i even now know what a .mac file is, finally!

i also answered another of my own questions... which was 'can i bury the configs in a seperate include?'

the answer seems to be 'yes'. although i am not certain to what extent, as it came out of some old forum post which suggests putting your config fuses in a configfuses.cfg...i do not know if this is a special or arbitrary file name... i will probably get around to trying this soon and may even remember to report back...

i am imagining .cfg files with names like... 18f45504musb.cfg which would setup a 4550 at 4mhz with the usb regulator turned on... possibly make a few as i really do work with just a few different chip types...

anyone tried anything like this?

it sure would be cool if microcode studio had an API so I could begin automating some of this stuff...

cheerio, robert
