Now that is good news.

I think this is what I was thinking of when I loosely said
'no examples' in Hi-Tech.  Examples would include the very
basic information as well as the more advanced solutions to
difficult problems.  The simple examples are good for people
just picking up the compiler.  Since the PIC C compilers are
very closely tied to the PIC architecture, even if someone
knows C, there is a learning curve. Simple examples get them
started on the learning curve.

 With PIC enthusiasm increasing like it is, this could be a
super-attractive marketing aspect of the compiler.
