Thank you all for your responses. They are appreciated. |

As a few details you don't know... |

I posted to this list because, as a gentoo user and open source |
| 8 |
developer, I knew it was a good place for information even when the |

At least one of HiTech's C compilers is gcc based. Their 32-bit |
| 12 |
compiler documentation is a revised version of the gcc documentation. |
| 13 |
If recollection serves I think I saw a copy of the GPL, though I can't |
| 14 |
locate it right now. |

Checking on IAR's website, they support some PIC processors, but not |
| 17 |
the PIC16 processor currently involved. |

James, I'd appreciate your posting your PIC open source references. |

Again, thank you all for sharing your knowledge and expertise. |
