*I agree with Padu. I began using mP at version 2.1 on my first PIC 
application ever. There were bugs in that version, but the development 
team, with the help of active help forum members,  has been constantly 
eliminating them and adding new features. The current version is 6.0 and 
it is mainly in the new features where bugs occur. mE also had a mikroC 
and a mikroBasic version and it is _my sense_ that the code generator 
for all compilers is the same.
*

*I don't think you can go wrong with mP, especially if you test drive 
the free version to get your feet wet!
*

*I am  a  long  time  Pascal  user going back to Pascal on a DEC PD1170 
and the original Turbo Pascal.
