I would like using Ada for that, but I discovered (also by browsing c.l.a.) that there is no Ada compiler producing 8051 code. I think the efforts would be better invested in recycling all existing 8051 cores. Make the planet greener! (:-)) Honestly, there is little useful one could do in 64K. Remember what one famous thinker and epidemiologist said about 640K? [640K is 10 times more than 64K] -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
