If it is HiTech PICC (which the OP seems to imply), it is. I use an include
file with something like

typedef unsigned char u8;
typedef   signed char i8;
typedef unsigned int  u16;
typedef   signed int  i16;
typedef unsigned long u32;
typedef   signed long i32;

(This works with HiTech PICC.) Makes these things more obvious when reading
the code, and simplifies switching between compilers.

Again, if it is HiTech PICC, there are delay routines in the samples/delay
directory. They require XTAL_FREQ to be defined and adapt accordingly.
