picbasic +12c508a+soft_stack error

yup, but where is it stated that it has to be reliable?

I think that's a given. It has to work when you turn on the power.
As for the rest of the rules, well, I'm assuming No EEPROM is the only one. Edit: with a 16F628A

i still believe it's doable... but with some hair lost

I'm starting to believe NO.
But I haven't given up yet.

I've got 3 completely different versions at 13 words now.
1 using external circuitry to TMR0
1 using external circuitry to a comparator
and another that simply shaves a word off my 14 word program. (wish I'd done that to begin with)

It seems that no matter what you do to save a word, you end up having to add something to make it work.

I'm sure getting some "Quality Time" in with the datasheets though. All kinds of stuff I didn't know before.
