There is, and you won't find it on their web site.  Lord only knows why.
in fact, their own people told me there WAS no demo version, but someone
on the PICLIST came up with the URL to it anyway.  You have to download it
from Microchip, and only the PCW product is there in demo form.  I can
tell you I've been quite happy with it for almost a year now.  I've only
had to resort to inline assembly code one time, and I'm not so sure I
could not re-write that bit in C too.

PCW is just PCB (12-bit) and PCM (14-bit) with a Windows IDE thingy
wrapped around it.  I use PCM, which integrates nicely with MPLAB.
