#119812 - The value of Flag is known!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Jon Ledbetter said:
void externalinterrupt(void) interrupt 0    //invoked on every positive edge
{
   if( !flag ) {
   TR0 = 1;    //enable timer0
   flag = !flag;        <---- shouldn't this be !flag=flag  ??
  }

No, I don't think so - the '!' operator needs to be on the RHS.

However, why bother with an expression at all?
At this point in the code, we know that 'flag' (what a useless name for a variable) must be 'false' - so we might just as well assign it to 'true' directly!

   if( !flag ) {
      // At this point, flag must be false
      TR0  = 1;       // enable timer0
      flag = TRUE;    // flag was false; set it true
   }
