Check your math... I think that 0-90 degrees is the minimum you want to try.

RAM is cleared to zero (at best) or random noise after a power up. ROM is non-volatile.

I would suggest you do a search of these fori (I still like that word, Dr. J!) for other discussions on floating point. Bottom line: The PIC18C is not a floating point processor...
