Have you found that GPASM is a tenable replacement for the Microchip 
toolset? The only thing I've been booting to windows for recently is 
MPASM. I heard rumors about an open source C for the 18F series, any 
word on that? I used JAL for a while, but found its support a little 
iffy for the 18F (no offense, Wouter), though it's probably gotten 
better since then.

Cheers,
Ian
