DIP switch select delay

[mongater]

HI, I'm a beginner in PIC, I want to do a simple counter project using DIP switch to select Delay, the small project is actually working already with 2 x 7 segment display.. but I need a selectable startup delay.But I dunno how to do it.. keeps failing!
here is what I wanted..
dip1=on, dip2=on, dip3=on, dip4=on == 8secs delay
dip1=on, dip2=off, dip3=off, dip4=off == 7secs delay
dip1=on, dip2=on, dip3=off, dip4=off == 6secs delay
dip1=off, dip2=off, dip3=off, dip4=off == 5secs delay
and so on...
I've attach a example sch.
maybe you guys might know some reference code or similar(PICBASIC)I can view?

Thanks!

If dip1 = 1 and dip2 = 1 and dip3 = 1 and dip4 = 1 then
pause 8000
else
if dip1 = 0 etc.



endif

or
something var byte
something = porta &%00111100
if something = 60 then
pause 8000
else
if something = etc.

endif

It might help if someone knew what DIL 18 was.

it's a 18 pins device with a DIL package I'll bet it's a black one

Some are dark brown. Some even have writing on them - I wonder what this one is?

Another clueless student trying to fudge a class project by the looks of it.

Yes it's 16F88 .. and it's 18pin... BLACK in color comes with some wording on top of it!! but I use my finger's to rub it off anyway.. and now it's unknown chips , so I put DIL18

Thanks mat janssen , this is what I've done first... I'm sure somewhere must have coded wrongly.. I'll check tonite again!

Thanks!
