Re: Why not a CASE x OF statement ?

The structure of the PIC code (was this what Microchip and Scenix were sqabbling over) would make it easy to construct a CASE statement.

CASE x OF
~~0 : y = 3;
~~6 : y = 7
~~1..5 : y = 4
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.
