New Optama C Compiler: An Entry Level C Compiler for Ultra Quick PIC Code Optama Software have introduced a new development tool for both the popular PIC family from Microchip Technology Inc and the SX family from Ubicom. Since the PIC family is one of the most widely used 8-bit microcontrollers and the SX microcontroller is an up and coming device for engineers, the Optama C Compiler can find a home on any engineer's desk. The Optama C Compiler has been designed for ease of use, coupled with efficient code generation, and comes complete in a Windows development environment. It will allow programmers to spend a minimum amount of time developing PIC code, thus it is highly cost-efficient. This is especially important with today's time to market being such an important factor. The Optama C Compiler will be available July 2001 through Kanda and Logical Devices. Customers can download a free 100% functional, but limited code-size, evaluation version now from www.kanda.com or www.optama.com. If you would like to purchase an upgrade, you can then do so from Kanda's user-friendly and secure site. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
