Thanks for the reply, Dave

Unfortunately the code snippet below is not the "real" code, but a 
quick throw-together to illustrate the problem I'm having.

In the real code, the variables are initialized with real data. 
Either statically (for testing) or dynamically from a pre-defined 
location in EEPROM.

ICC actually initializes the value to 0 automatically as part of the 
compile process anyhow ...

I'm still having no luck trying to solve this problem - might try and 
use a series of if-then-else handlers instead of the alternating 
while loops ... hmmm ...

Thanks again for the reply.


Cheers,


Jon
