I am looking for a C compiler for a PC and example programs
for the PIC 16C5X series. My initial assembly code for function
of my project is over 600 lines and I need to drastically rewrite
and change it. It would seem like writing the code in C would make it easier
to debug and save time in writing. Perhaps someone can verify this.
I also have to wonder how easy would it be to debug the compiled code
on the assembly level if necessary. The emulator I plan to use works
on the assembly code your write and then allows breakpoints, halting
and step functions. I plan on getting them emulator made by  EDT publications
for about $200. I just got a disk with the software to try it out.
It seems like a great deal, as long as the 16C5X series suits your
needs. After I order it and assemle it, I will post my opinions and
comments about it.
