I have a TI Microreader here, but have used in only to communicate with 
a PC.  I think in your case the 2 most important issues are the voltage 
level (microreader is at RS232, PIC at TTL) and the signal polarity (PIC 
UARTs use inverted voltage polarity on the Tx and Rx pins compared to 
RS232).

Well, you have to solve this first!

I'm not familiar with the compiler you use, I have only used the CC8E 
compiler. So I cannot help you with this..
