Wasn't aware that Microchip acquired HiTech, but for the 16F and =20 enhanced 16F, is there any better option? I'm tinkering for now, but =20 will prob want optimizations at some point and wondering if there's a =20 better less-than-$1200 option out there. Especially since I =20 understand that the 16F version is limited to the 16F, and if I want =20 to use if for the 18F or 24F, I have to buy additional versions for =20 those. Cheers, -Neil.
