Which compiler are you using?  AVR-GCC compiles and runs your code
correctly.

I'll state this again just for the benefit of all those who assume they
can't use GCC because it is too difficult: Studio 4 with the GCC plug in
makes is brain dead simple:  Just create a project, cut the code from the
email and paste into the initial file, and press the compile button.  Start
debugging, and see that it works.

If you set the compile options for anything other than -oO (default, no
optimization) the compiler correctly identifies the problems and warns you.

GCC is the best and only free compiler!

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
