20 Just so you know, I am not a programmer. I do have to use PIC's in
21 various project and each time I have to suffer through hacking existing
22 code to make things work. To program the PICs I use ponyprog. There is a
23 linux binary version available and is quite easy to setup. You can use
24 parallel or serial port. A while back I read that a linux
25 version/work-alike for mplab was in the works, I never followed up on
26 its progress.
