Maybe there's a reasonably simple way to make your MPASM sources compatible
with HiTech (rather than the other way round, which is what you seem to
have been looking into)?

The reason I'm suggesting this is that usually, when integrating assembler
with C code, there is some work to be done anyway, even when the assembler
and linker are the same. The assembler modules need to conform to the
compiler's calling (and sometimes linking) conventions. There are a few
different ways to achieve that, but all of them usually require at least
some massaging of the assembler code.

So it may be that when considering this (which would be required for either
compiler), adapting your existing assembler code to properly assemble and
link with HiTech's assembler and linker may turn out to not be that much
extra work.
