Bob, My understanding is yes, it'll handle things like that…however it'd be handled by the compiler not the interface. However, I'm sure that there are ways of writing code so the compiler would get confused…and some changes would have to be made to get the code to run on a different processor. Like all things in life, compilers, interfaces, and the like can only do some much. The author has to take some responsibility to account for things like that using #ifdef's and macros if they're really going to get tricky in things like bit manuiplation. That's not "authorative", that's just my understaning of how it works. I've never actually tested it yet. Don
