Has anyone been using the latest MPLAB? i installed it, but not in the
default C:\MPLAB directory. when i try to do the single source example in
TUTOR.PDF, i get a 'can't find SAMPLE.HEX' type error after trying to build
the project. if i open SAMPLE.ASM and attempt to assemble it,  it says it
can't find an open file of the proper name.

i'm new to PICs, and while the IDE seems like a useful tool, it is quite a
bit different from the 80xx tools i'm using, and i don't want to spend a
lot of time playing with an apparent beta level tool when the DOS MPASM and
MPSIM with PFE will get the job done.

thanks for the input
