I have an LCD terminal project on my website, and people have been
telling me it doesn't fit in the chip using the new free version. It fit
fine with the old free version.

Also, I haven't noticed "OCG" making any improvement over my older
"non-free", "pre-PRO" version.

This all started a few years ago. The non-free PRO compiler includes
"OCG" but does no better. The free version got way worse.

Now that Microchip has bought HiTech, things can only get better, it
would be hard for it to get worse!

Cheerful regards,

Bob
