	hello mark... thanks for the 8051 code and stuff... but on to
the issue.  I agree "strongly suggest learning the 8051" but "using C ...
Roman numerals.."  should be "using an hp 41CX doing numerical integration
to do calculus" is more appropriate.  It gets the job done - sometimes
not as efficient as can be, but it does it.  In most cases the code runs
slower than assembler, but the code can be written much faster if the
person is 8051 illiterate.  (but yes, hardware and software debugging
becomes an issue if the person is 8051 H.W. & S.W. illiterate).  Many
seminars and mag articles have been given about C vs assembler for micro
controllers/uP's.
	O.K. enuf of my $.02.  Did you know that Intel's IDCX-51 (real
time OS for the 8051) is in the pub domain?  I tried it out... pretty
neat stuff.
