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

But you don't have access to IF .. THEN ... ELSE either unless you modify the Parallax token machine. My reply supposed that Parallax was changing PBASIC, and a case statement would take care of the else easily.

Maybe a modification to the preprocessor could make euther statement available.

Personally, I think PBASIC is just one of the givens we work with, and I don't see that changing soon. In Nicholas Wirth can feel strongly about typing, PBASIC can feel strongly about unsigned integers.
