Sounds to me like you never used a high level programming language...

When using Jal (or C or Pascal, etc.) the compiler (JALV2) chooses  the=20
machine instructions needed for the desired operations, depending on the=20
processor-type for which the program is destined. I don't know and I=20
don't really care if the JalV2 compiler uses new instructions like those=20
of the 16f193x. It might be able to build more efficient programs if it=20
does, but that is a different matter.

The Jallib libraries are written in JAL (with few exceptions), for which=20
the same applies as above: independent of the machine instruction set.

Jallib contains device files (comparable to asm '.inc' files) which make=20
it possible to write device independent programs and makes it easy to=20
switch from one to another type of PIC.

Furthermore Jallib provides a collection of function libraries (like for=20
PWM, ADC, I2C, LCD, RS232, USB and many other functions) which lift=20
application programming to an even higher level than pure JAL.

To give JALV2 and Jallib a try you might find the tutorials helpful:
