Any comments will be apprecheated. > Thank you > Dan Oshaben > oshaben@ix.netcom.com I'd have to recommend the ByteCraft compiler. It's not perfect, but it does work. It will allow you to use the banked registers on the '57 without troubling your head about FSR bit twiddling, and handles the code pages fairly well. It has problems with a really full '57 code memory. I haven't used it on a '64 or '74 project, but I would expect it to be good, based on '57 code generation. The list says to watch out for interrupt entry/exit code, though. The price is not hobby-friendly, but it's worth it if you think in C and need to code for a PIC.
