What is the difference between __rt_version 2 and 3 (aside from
calling convention)?

What are the guide lines for mixing c code and assembly code under
__rt_vesion 3? (Aside from calling convention.)

And what about migrating old assembly code intended to be mixed with c
code under _rt_version 2 into 3?

I think km5h actually has IAR version 4 of IAR which uses __rt_version
3 and he was trying to link with an old assembly code which says:

RTMODEL "__rt_version", "2"

I know you can force IAR version 4 to use the older calling
convention. But is there anything else in the runtime environment that
might cause problems?

The big difference is between version 1.xx and all the rest. Typically,
you don't have to change the source when goint from version 2.xx to
3.xx, or 4.xx for that matter...

I am not sure what the version # of IAR I was referring to. Let me put
it this way:

I downloaded the KickStart form TI a while back. The file name was
slac050p.zip and it works with the source code in slaa386.zip

At a later date, I downloaded the KickStart from TI again. The file
name was slac050q.zip and it does not work with the same source code.

Do you have to use the code in slaa386.zip? There are other source
code somewhere else. For me, I would rather write the code myself so
that I do not need to understand what others are thinking and
assuming. I would also use assembly so that I do not need to
understand what version and what brand of the compiler is used. (For
that matter, the Assembler also do me in from time to time. But less
frequent and easier to fight.)

What do you mean by "I changed it to 3 so that the compile would work"?

Are you having more luck with the downloaded code? When I used it, it seemed to work OK.

Yes, I have version 3 of the IAR. However, the file at the link has
a version of 2. I changed it to 3 so that the compile would work.
Hope that was not a bad idea. Or should I go back to version 2 of the
IAR?

Tom,
all those things look fine in my code. Do you have an old copy or something? Did you download the code in a zip file?
Here is where I got mine:
http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/techdocsabstract.tsp?abstractName=slaa368
If you can verify that you've got the same zip file of code as me and if you still don't see those variables defined, can you provide more details of where you're looking?

I've written some code for the i2c interface. Can you post your code
and I'll look through it. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post
code from that particular project.

If you use c, you still has to watch out for which revision of which
compiler/linker you are using.

BTW, are you using version 3 of IAR?

Thanks for the link. I have not had a time to work with it but will
soon. It looks like everything is there. I was doing a copy and
past out of the manual. I somehow missed the that the zip file
existed.
I have the Si570 working on a 16F88, but wanted to use the 430.

Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks again
