Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on which of these two =
compilers
would be 'better'. I know it=92s a very objective (or subjective?) =
question
but right now I just can't decide.

Reading some of the documentation I have made a short list of pro's and
con's. I have been playing with demo versions of both of these for a =
short
time.

Microchip C18:
- PRO: 24 bit integer datatypes
- PRO: Standard libraries include hardware peripherals (as well as =
software
implementations)
- CON: No compiler for 14 bit PICs

HI-TECH C18:
- PRO: Also has a 14 bit compiler
- PRO: Much bigger community of users and more source/examples on the =
web
- CON: No 24 bit integer datatype
- CON: Standard libraries only include ANSI functions, no PIC =
peripherals,
such as PWM, SPI, ASUART, etc
=20
Currently I'm leaning towards Microchip's compiler mainly due to the =
fact
that it has standard libraries for hardware peripherals. Does anyone =
have
any other reasons for picking one or the other?
