Guess all my talking has caused someone else to go this way.

>I would like to know :
>1) Does Hitech supports all the PICs?

It's table driven, so it probably will.  You can define a new part with
include files easy enough.

>2) Is its current release stable?

It's been out for several weeks and I haven't had to re-download it.
Current version is 7.83pl2 I believe.

>3) What does it do with the 'mapped' 16 bytes in the 8k parts?

??  You mean the common bank?  They are used properly.
