Hello all,

    I know this is a question threaded previously, but as there are new C
compilers for C on the market, I want to know the opinion of actual users of
low/mid cost (bellow US$150.00) C compilers for PIC.

    The options seens to be:
    PCM by CCS
        latest version: ?
        www.ccsinfo.com
        Seens to be the more widely used
        price: US$99 + shipping (US$29 to ship to Brazil)
    C2C by PAVEL BARANOV
        latest version: 3.27.3
        www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Network/3656/c2c/c.html
        Supports PIC and SCENIX
        price: US$45 (additional US$15 for integration with MPLAB)
    CC5X by B.KNUDSEN DATA
        www.bknd.com
        latest version: 3.0D
        price: Free version supports 1KWORD of program data
               US$90 (web purchase and delivering)
               version supports 2KWORD of program data
    PICC by FED
        www.fored.co.uk
        latest version: 1.065
        have integrated debugger (seens to not integrate with MPLAB)
        price: US$100 (on CD-ROM)

    I'm using CC5XFREE and liked it (for a free version, it's very usefull),
but my codes are already close to 1KWORD and I need to upgrade, but I don't
think that US$90.00 for a compiler that only does 1KWORD is a fair price. So
I'll probably byt CCS or C2C (I need integration with MPLAB), but wants to
make the right decision without having to buy another compiler later.

    Best regards,

    Brusque
