Hi

I use PBP and is a nice soft.
But Microchip has now chips with C-compiler efficient instruction set.
I know only basic. Seems is time to begin slowly to learn C that I avoided
for years.

I search for PIC C compilers and found many with hotbot.com . The ideal
compiler for my use would be :
- a well documented one (to learn C with pleasure and the compiler at the
same time)  ,
- should work  for several chips ( not all of course)  but including the 8
pin ones ( from 61 to 84 seems short)
- should have direct functions (?) to acess the ADC with 10 and 12 bit,
RS232, I2C, SPI for serial ADCs and DACs
- work with ease with 16 bit timers and accept 24 bit variables .
Of course, ... should be not too expensive and have a demo for test before
buy.
Have I missed it ?

Thanks for your comments.
