	Thanks to all those who responded to my post regarding
	the 8051 vs. the 68hc11.  Special thanks to those who 
	provided an in depth evaluation of either processor.  In
	general, the 8051 was presented as being a faster chip in
	most respects, while the 68hc11 family was seen as having
	more useful features, and a "sane" architecture.  Being 
	previously partial to the Intel chip, I found a tough time
	deciding between the two.  More than one respondent said
	that the choice between the processors would also depend
	on the application.  I think the final argument that lead
	me to my decision of using the 68hc11 over the 8051, was 
	availability of a large amount of free public domain
	software from Motorola's FREEWARE BBS.  For those interested,
	the number is (512) 891-3733.  Some of the available tools
	for the 'hc11 are assemblers, a monitor, Small C, a real-time
	kernel and Basic.

			Thanks to all,
					Steve
