// A timer/counter demonstration (no interrupts on this one)
// The output is an 8 ms square wave.
//
// Generally, TMR0 will click over at 256 and start again at
// 0. Once started (by writing to it), TMR0 always runs 
// (can't shut it off).  It is counting
// microseconds unless you set a divisor in the option
// register.  That's what the 'setup_counters' command
// does (below). The divisor can be any of those on page
// 57 of the CCS manual (or the location of setup_counters
// definition).  For this one, we divided by 256 and then
// waited 32 ticks (32 * 256 microseconds).
//
// Using '84 on a board (simple solderless breadboard with
// 16F84 on it) and Peter Anderson's include file with 
// port/bit definitions (defs_f84.h available at www.phanderson.com)
// Settings:
// 	4Mhz resonator (not important)
//	All Port A inputs use external pullups (resistor SIP used)
//	Port B outputs tied to a LED array (Radio Shack has 'em)
//	Port A inputs tied to ground through four switches
//	(pullups still are on them - makes it all work!)
// 	You aren't going to see much with this one unless
//	you use a scope. The freq is too fast.
