PIC assembly.

[Bill Layer]

Hi,

the Assembler looks like a
 >nightmare and doesnt run at 1 instruction per clock cycle

I'm not sure where you got that information, but the Microchip PICs that I 
am familiar with all run at 1 instruction per cycle. There are several 
instructions that do require 2 cycles, but they can be avoided within the 
timing loops required for midi or other audio firmwares.

Also, despite the fact that assembly language  is assembly language, there 
are only 35 instructions in the set for the smaller PICs (16F84 etc). I 
don't blame anyone who doesn't want to write in assembler; I'm currently 
re-learning it. Still, this PIC code is much easier than 6502 was...
