So it may be easier, but it's not standard C. This sounds a lot like the CodeVision compiler's way of setting a bit on a port: completely non-standard. Best to stick with what is portable and just learn to read code with #ifdefs. A bit of indentation usually helps. ;-) _______________________________________________ AVR-GCC-list mailing list AVR-GCC-list@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-gcc-list
