It's also bundled free with MPLAB - no restrictions.  But it's probably
worth paying the $50 to get access to new versions - the one bundled with
MPLAB hasn't been updated in a long time.

The CCS PCB compiler does have some limitations (whether you pay for it or
not) - see my baseline C tutorials at
http://www.gooligum.com.au/tut_baseline_C.html

Those baseline lessons also cover HI-TECH's PICC-Lite and PRO compilers.
HI-TECH C PRO is also bundled with MPLAB these days, but it runs in "Lite"
mode, where optimisation is disabled and generated code is about 50% bigger
than it needs to be. PICC-Lite is still a better bet for 12-bit PICs,
because it supports almost every baseline device, and generates excellent
code - see the comparisons in my tutorials.  PICC-Lite is still downloadable
from www.htsoft.com, and I believe it's the best option for 12-bit PICs -
100% free, full optimisation, very solid, with no restrictions.
