looks like xbasic is definitely the winner.  by the way, i won't go near
anything newer than windows 98 if i can avoid it, and i know xt pulls
all kinds of stuff to protect us dumb users (besides, it will be a cold
day in hell when i give micro soft any more money!).  i will be running
bsd on the x86 box once i get things well set up, and no doubt a good
pic programming utility will be one of the first things i write when i
learn C, i have a tendency to wind up writing things that do i/o and
other "hard" things....
