Greetings to the list,

     I'm new to these PIC things .. years and years of experience beating
     68HC11's and '332s into shape though. Past experience has told me to
     look to the experts for initial advice when starting out on new
     ventures ... So ...

     Has anybody tried the Dunfield C-Flea compiler? I know their HC11
     compiler is like fairly well. I think most of my programming will be
     assembler, however, to use the larger parts C might be nice.

     Also, does anybody have an opinion on the EPIC pocket programmer from
     microEngineering Labs? Seems inexpensive and will burn the parts I'm
     initially interested in.

     I take this list in digest format so my response will be delayed.


     Thanks,
