Hi Dwayne,

Don't sell yourself short!!!!!

If you were going from something like Dartmouth Basic to assembler then I 
would understand your reluctance but you're going from assembler to 'C' 
!!!

For you it should be like freewheeling downhill.

For you the hardest thing will be "structures", but nobody if forcing you 
to use them to write simple programs. You've already got a good grip on 
pointers - how often do you calculate an offset into a block of RAM and 
use FSR ind INDF!!!

Seriously, you should be easily able to grok 'C' if you try even just a 
tiny bit. And if you have problems you know where to come.

You even state that you have access to an emulator - that's like having 
god himself showing you how everything works.

Give it a go, you might end up enjoying the process.
