Well, for the "fun" of it I've decided to jump into the "C" environment,
just to get a taste of the waters (mostly since HiTech allows hobbyists to
use their free PICCLite compiler). I do have most of the basics set, it's
working with MPLAB and a "Hello World" program compiles fine. However I do
have a few questions.

        I'm using MPLAB 6, how do I get MPLAB to output the error messages from the
compiler??!? All I get now is "build failed", not too useful... how can I
get MPLAB to report what line the compile failed. Failing that how can I get
the compiler to output this to a file or something I can reference to find
my errors?

        Second, after having attended Microchip's "corporate seminars" recently
(actually found it quite useful, probably because a true engineer was
running the show, he left out most of the marketing fluff) I was wondering
about MChip's TCP/IP stack. Has anyone succeeded in getting it going on
anything OTHER than an 18F? I know they say it'll only work on an 16F but
somehow I can't believe that, C is C, isn't it? Has anybody succeeded in
getting the PICCLite compiler compiling the basics of the stack? I
understand the stack is quite large and the PICCLite compiler has a ROM size
limit, I am however still interested in if anyone else has accomplished
this?

Thanks, TTYL
