There is a small review of four 'C' Compilers posted at:
http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~donmck/ccs.html

An other interesting thing I just found was the pdf files for full doco on the
Micromint PicStic.
http://micromint.com/picstic/html

14 pages: Circuits, pinouts, and ASM source code for the NJU6355 RTC and LTC1298
A/D Converter. Includes mini-data sheets for these devices too, well enough to
 get
by with.
