The pro line of HiTech is very expensive. And they are
now treating their customers like criminals with their
new activation scheme. I'm not renewing my maintenance
any more, and if I need support for new chips I'm
either going to write the device file myself or find
another compiler. They finally hit my disgust
threshold and I'm not going to take any more of this
kind of crap.

But the code produced is very good, so if someone else
is paying and you don't mind products that snoop on
you, it might be right for you.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
