 		 #122201 - Things you can and can't do ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I can't tell if a MOVC instruction is used in an external routine.

Actually, you can, if you can view the assembly code of your program somehow (I'd be very surprised if there was no way) and know at which address ?C?CCASE is located (check the listing file).

As far as I can tell, ?C?CCASE uses a fair number of MOVC instructions.

The compiler does not know about features like this code protection. It's up to the programmer to make sure they do not interfere with the program.

      sure, but there will still be MOVC            01/01/70 00:00      
         And upgrading the compiler can change the output            01/01/70 00:00
