Quick Question:

I did a bunch of work with PICs in college, and now I'm hobbying around with them, mainly in robots and such. Back then I did all of my programming in ASM, but I want to know what I should use when I'm wanting to speed up the process and just get something working quickly. I have a copy of PICC Lite, but I see that only works for three chips.  Is there a decently priced (<$100) package that can program all the PIC Micros?  I know most of the ones I've seen are $$$$. And what about BASIC? I've never really messed with BASIC Programming, so I'm not sure what capabilities (PWM and the like) are covered in these BASIC Compiler packages.

Thanks,
Ryan
