going back to the first principles,trying to follow the examples in the Elektor Flowcode book (based on version 6)
SOOO much has changed, i may as well be reading a cookery book! clear as mud...:x
i made a daft mistake and selected a switch icon instead of a decision icon; not remembering i had done another earlier version, correctly.
the resulting hex files where,not surprisingly, a different size; which was what drew my attention to my mistake. so i made up a PDF to remind me NOT to use the wrong icons in future; especially for code-restricted parts...
For 18F PIC's with more memory than me it probably wouldnt matter much,till the code grew humungous; but i was writing code for the flea-sized 10F200 SMD!
despite FlowCodes macro's and XC8's 'un-optimising' feature,it may still be feasable to use the little tikes for useful things :D
