With the permission of George Combis of Hi-Tech software, I have been allowed to release the following brief exchange to the PIC list regarding HI-TIDE. 1. Will HI-TIDE support the ability to interface to the ICE-2000 or other emulators? We are looking at having that versatility implemented into HI-TIDE later this year, so in the initial releases this feature will not be available.. 2. When will the first release of HI-TIDE occur? I'm looking forward to trying it out. We are hoping to have a beta released in about 4 to 6 weeks... With the initial releases targeting the PICC-18 then the PICC compilers respectively.. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
