A Beta version of the next MPLAB software has been posted on the Microchip
web site.

Go to

to download v3.32.15.  This unzips to 5 files  for installation from either
hard drive or floppy disk.  We'll try to make a "patch" version for the
official release so you won't have to download another 6 Megabyte file if
you have already downloaded the beta version.

This has a revamped Project Manager to deal with multi-file projects and it
integrates MPLINK (and MPLAB-C17)  into MPLAB.  There is a firmware update
for PICSTART Plus so that it can program the new PIC16C67x devices,
MPLAB-SIM support for new devices, and, by popular demand, enhanced Watch
Windows.

As requested by many members of this list, over 40 improvements/fixes were
attended to in this release.

See the README.LAB file for a tutorial on using the new project manager.
This tutorial is just text, but a fancier tutorial will be posted soon on
the Microchip web page.
