In several places, ou are using the equality operator:
Save This Code
==
where the assignment operator:
Save This Code
=
should be used.

which begs the question did the compiler not tell you what to do?

Probably not - they all yeild valid expressions, so there is no real error for the compiler to comment on.

As I've noted before, "small" embedded compilers tend to be a lot more reticent in their warnings than "big" compilers like Borland - sorry, Codegear - or Microsoft. Hence it's often a good idea to run your code through a "big" compiler just to get the extra diagnostics

However, the compiler should have complained about
Save This Code
Sbit front = P0^0; 
sbit back1 = P0^1;
since 'C' is case-sensitive - see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=146328
