Re: Why not a CASE x OF statement ?

ELSE y = 0;
Do we really need a CASE statement language element? It seems to me that it wouldn't add much value to the language beyond what we already have with the PBASIC BRANCH statement.

BTW Lloyd, I don't think we have access to PIC assembly language without breaking the seal and voiding the warranty.
