hey, can anyone help a beginner? :? its a blinking led program. i just copied this code from mikroelectronika and it doesn't build and produces an error. here's the code and corresponding error:

			PROCESSOR 16F84
			#include"p16f84.inc"

		__CONFIG _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_ON &_XT_OSC

	Cblock 0x0C
	endc

	ORG		0X00
	goto 	Main
	ORG		0X04
	goto    Main

The error has to do with COD file type limitation. The easyest way how to correct this is to put your folder into root folder od your HDD. Then it should work. Other solution is to use COFF files instead, but it's harder to setup, for beginner.

The MicroChip assembler MPASM is only a 16 bit application, so you should only use short file and directory names - preferably without any spaces!. It does work to some extent with long filenames, but it often causes problems! - it's what comes of Windows having a 'bodged' filename system, rather than a proper long filename system.
