If you want a PIC assembler for Linux you might also want to check out
pictools at ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/microprocs/pic/pictools
It includes an assembler and a few conversion tools between its own pictools
format and intel16.
I think I had to patch one line which caused a core dump with Linux but
I have been using it for a few months now and am very satisfied.

The only PIC program-download code for LINUX I know about is prog84 (also at
nic.funet.fi). Please tell me if there are any others available.
I would especially be interested in code for the simple serial port programmer.
I only found the DOS version.
