I agree with both previous responses. If you insist on closed sources, look here: http://www.microchipc.com/ ==> Pic C Sample Code and PIC FAQ However, as one who has worked with traditional development environments for uP, here's my wisdom. Ditch Hi-tech C immediately. It is garbage and you'll waist tons of time on things you should not. If you want to use a commercial compiler, then you have to decide. Want a really good compiler for Microchip stuff? ==> IAR, as they are THE GOLD STANDARD. www.iar.com Sure you pay, but, in the long run, you'll be thankful. Compilers for small micros are only as good as the folks that develop and support them. IAR is the best. Nobody else is even close. I know, as I use to be part of a team, that used everything you can image. Now, if you're a hack, and CHEAP, which is a compliment, then get real and start learning how to use the open source compilers. I'll dig out a few links of my PIC open source references and post it, if you like. hth, James
