I was curious how any of you guys that develop PIC applications in Basic
debug them? Is there a source level debugger included with them? Does it
interface with ICD2 or similar debugger (MPLAB source level plug-in or
similar)? Or are you stuck with "churn and burn" debugging?

I've never seen this discussed before. I know when I evaluate C tools, the
debugger is just about as important as the compiler for me as I probably
spend more time debugging and testing code than I do writing it.

Basic seems like it might be a good way to rapid prototype PIC software so
I'm kind of curious.
