The ; was a type error when I wrote this. I have to write in C
because I am using a program from HI-TEC which is use for writing C
to the mircochip. I have always wriiten in assembly code but the new
software requires writing in C. I have book on C++ but some of the
code will not work in the HI-TECH.
