------------------------------------------------
Actually I managed something with the existing word rd/wr macros. But I've  
yet to see how the code size compares with the read/write block method..

uint32_t eeprom_read_long( uint16_t *loc)
        {
            uint32_t num;
            num = eeprom_read_word((uint16_t *)(loc+1));
            num <<=16;
            num |= eeprom_read_word((uint16_t *)loc);
            return num;
        }
//=========================
void eeprom_write_long(uint16_t *loc, uint32_t val)
        {
            eeprom_write_word(loc, val & 0xffff);
            eeprom_write_word(++loc, val >>16);

                return;
        }

Thanks, all,
