Jake, I found a hex to binary file converter and tried it. Well, to my amazement it converted it. Problem now is that the file now has grown from 4k to over 16k!!!
This is not getting me anywhere. What I need to know is why, when I compile your original version 9b source code I get a 2k file, then change line 70 by deleting the data, copy and paste the red cell data to line 70, save the file, load into the compiler and now it compiles to a 4k hex file which won't fit into the memory of the 683 chip. Anyone else run into this problem?? What am I doing wrong? Maybe if I give my saved excel change and forward it to someone who can compile to a hex for me, I can finally do a test of the chip in my timer board. All other problems are fixed on my computer, just this file size problem I'm getting is giving me fits.
Anyone want to try it for me and send me the resulting source and hex files???

John
