As Michael said, what PIC exactly ? The three ranges (8/16/32) are totally different. I'm using the 8-bitters and the 16-bitters. - IIRC the 8-bit PICs have a segmented memory model (pages of 256 bytes selected using a selector register) - 2-8kb of memory (maximum on the 16-bit iirc, with maybe a 16kb coming soon) is too little to even use strings and other normal routines. - You need SFR support, but worse, to convert the device specific header file for each of the hundreds of different chips, and maintain them. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
