Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF3.8 MPLABX

[Young, R. S. <ras...@in...>]

P.,

Thanks you for your well considered comments.

Also thanks for your wonderful tutorials, they are so valuable as 
learning tools! I'm studying ...

Microprocessors: From Assembly Language to C Using the PICI8FXX2 (Da 
Vinci Engineering) Robert B. Reese (Author)

And I see what you mean about closer correspondence with existing 
texts. I think he uses a PIC18F4520 for most his examples.

Best,

Randy
