Thanks.

The real problem I'm trying to fix is the warning message
that tells me byte_u8 is defined but not used.

Code is running on the board now, outputs changing,
so byte_u8 is obviously being used.  However the warning
has come back.

I got started down the wrong path by moving where
byte_u8 was located in trying to remove the warning.

This time deleting .dep and OBJs did not make the warning go away.
Bazaar.
