the original message requested assistance on how to: "...to display the next value as 1234.5 and so on." maybe you should explain your reasoning in bounding what we all should be posting?

naw... pushing and popping lot of register images is a waste of runtime and stack. pushing and popping all their runtime is the sort of thing c implementations do.

when using assembly language, its better to plan out your register and memory use beforehand to minimize that nonsense. :)

in my opinion, anything other than the necessary accumlator and register set pointer are a waste of time. i use the register sets for individual interrupt levels and only use dptr sparingly and on one such level.
but my applications are all real-time oriented and so efficiency is paramount.
as to "confusing everyone", are you suggesting we can only post novice level ideas? that could make the forum boring to non-novices.

duh
