#167235 - the old familar tune and singing it off key
Responding to: ???'s previous message
On the KEIL tools, Erik. Those produce 2K of binaries for just a few dozen lines of 'C'. If one's program is that brief, well, OK. But if you need a real development suite, you need to look elsewhere. Further, the old 8035 (Romless 8048) didn't have 'C' language support.

1) I have no idea why you have the same feelings about Keil and supervisor chips
2) I have no idea why you have the same feelings about C and supervisor chips
3) the SILabs "Keil eval" is 4k
4) if you "need to look elsewhere" SILabs have "run code" for Metalink, Dunfield, SDCC, IAR and, of course, Keil

                     Lots of C code to fill 2kB or 4kB            01/01/70 00:00

                           Don't you worry            01/01/70 00:00

                        You were the one who raised it!            01/01/70 00:00      
                           True enough, but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              read the Keil manual            01/01/70 00:00      
                           I don't believe that's the case            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Yes, it was definitely you.            01/01/70 00:00

                                             It could be quite straightforward            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                it could be....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             how to 8243            01/01/70 00:00
