Dave,
First of all thank you very much, using #pragma reserve 10 works great for
me. I would let you know though that although in your programming guide you
tell how to reserve a storage location you do not tell how to access the
reserved location, maybe you can add this to the next version of your
documentation. It would be of great help to us NQC rookies.
