6 I agree with both previous responses.

8 If you insist on closed sources, look here:

10 ==> Pic C Sample Code and PIC FAQ

13 However, as one who has worked with traditional
14 development environments for uP, here's my wisdom.
15
16 Ditch Hi-tech C immediately. It is garbage and you'll
17 waist tons of time on things you should not. If you want
18 to use a commercial compiler, then you have to decide.
19
20 Want a really good compiler for Microchip stuff?
21
22 ==> IAR, as they are THE GOLD STANDARD. www.iar.com
23
24 Sure you pay, but, in the long run, you'll be
25 thankful. Compilers for small micros are only as good
26 as the folks that develop and support them. IAR
27 is the best. Nobody else is even close. I know, as I use
28 to be part of a team, that used everything you can image.

31 Now, if you're a hack, and CHEAP, which is a compliment,
32 then get real and start learning how to use the open source
33 compilers.
34
35 I'll dig out a few links of my PIC open source references
36 and post it, if you like.
