Exactly.  What's cheaper, buying the compiler ready to run out of the box
from Microchip, or spending a lot of time downloading source and build tool=
s
and futzing around trying to get something that hopefully works and isn't
just "mostly" working with some non-obvious flaws.  And then do you actuall=
y
get the extra code Microchip created anyway.  Isn't the code you can
download and build only for the free version?
