Craig,

How long does it take you to compile or assemble your PIC program? More than 3
minutes?

I would question whether an improvement in compiler, assembler, or editor speeds
that you might obtain from Linus tools would outweigh the advantage of using the
MicroChip integrated development environment.

I am sick and tired of the sluggish response of my
windows development and productivity-NOT tools. I
really don't believe that a Pentium 166 with 64MB of
memory should run as slow as my 286 did back 11 years
ago!

Those of you who are successfully using Linux tools
for microcontroller development in C, could you
respond to me with your comments.

Thanks,

Craig
