    In my own experience I can also write in ASM as fast as in C for small 
and medium projects but maintaining C code and putting more features in a 
system is much, much easier in C than in assembler. I also mix assembler a 
lot in my C programs. When the project starts to get bigger C beats 
assembler reducing development time in a very signifcant way... But even for 
small projects C is a little easier after you get used to it and besides 
with codevision it is so easy to mix assembler inside C that except for 
really small CPU's it is just plain easier to use C as the "frame" for the 
system... It is weird for me to say that !! But it is real... When you need 
to take
