1. what are the 0x0c, 0x0d and 0x0e (commented as general purpose register) given in the code below? because i cannot find them in the 16f84 registry. Do they act there as variables?

tmr0 equ 0x01 ; Timer/counter register
status equ 0x03 ; Status word register. See Easy PIC'n p. 145
portA equ 0x05 ; Port A register
portB equ 0x06 ; Port B register
intCon equ 0x0b ; Interrupt control register
rcvReg equ 0x0c ; General purpose register
count equ 0x0d ; General purpose register
temp equ 0x0e ; General purpose register
optReg equ 0x81 ; File register in Bank 1
trisA equ 0x85 ; File register in Bank 1. See Easy PIC'n p. 145
trisB equ 0x86 ; File register in Bank 1. See Easy PIC'n p. 145

2. can i do this?

if rcvReg = binary-value-of-letter-"a" then RB1 will go high

hi,
When you post code, if you select the code and then click on the '#' in the menu bar it will keep the formatting.:)

If you look at 16F84 datasheet, you will see the Registers start at address 0x0C and so on. its just a Register address.

according to wikipedia: Gprs are General purpose registers (GPRs) can store both data and addresses, i.e., they are combined Data/Address registers.
 
ty eric

so i can use them to assign values also?

what do you mean by assmebler? mplab?

hi,
They are temporary storage registers for the program variables.
The variable can be any 8bit data/addr you need for the program.

If you use MPLAB you dont need to redefine the 16F84 PORTs etc
For example the following NAMES are already recognised by MPLAB,
Code:
tmr0	equ	0x01	; Timer/counter register
status	equ	0x03	; Status word register. See Easy PIC'n p. 145
portA	equ	0x05	; Port A register
portB	equ	0x06	; Port B register

If you add this to the program header [ near the top of the listing]
MPLAB will know the address of PORTA when you say: PORTA in your program

Code:
 list p=16f84
 #include <p16f84.inc>
 radix dec
 errorlevel -302, -207

You MUST define the GPR's yourself. OK:)
Code:
rcvReg	equ	0x0c	; General purpose register
count	equ	0x0d	; General purpose register
temp	equ	0x0e	; General purpose register

ty eric, 4 birds with one stone.

i think that's about it, they answered my second question also, according to what i've read there are logical operators that we can use to compare two values (gprs). hope im on the right track...

again ty you have been a big help eric.
