So it is said.

Yes, we implemented multidrop communications and the protocol layer
code is linked in by TurboC, C++ or HiTechC with only minor changes
to some hardware dependant header information.

Certainly makes it easier to debug code on a PC and then know that
it works the same on the PIC.

Viva HiTechC :-)
