I've forgotten whether you were interested in the pic16, pic18,
pic24/dspic, or pic32 lines. The amount of memory savings varies
depending on which architecture. I think the most gains are in the
pic16(14 bit core). And MPLAB-C is what most of the pic18 sample code is
written for.

There are also other vendors than HiTech, but not for every
architecture. I think HiTech(maybe IAR) are the only one with compilers
for the whole line. But each is sold separately.

And there are free compilers, too, but it depends which parts.

Cheers,

Bob
