Sorry for the bounce, Andrew, I'll check this latter.

Thanks a lot for the tips, I'll check the companies that you suggested.  I'll also check your website too.

When you say that I don't have anything invested, well, I have already a lot of programing done with this demo (I guess I
sill have five or four more days), and there are many features like I2C and RS232 on this prototype currently working with the
C17 libraries.

The MPLAB integrated environment is good, and at first I thought that the C17 would be a nice choice: a compiler from the
microcontroller manufacturer should be perfectly tailored to the task, but now I see that I was wrong, and I wouldn't
like to modify and test again all my work for new libraries.

Best regards
Francisco
