I want to use a PIC16F688 for a project I'm working on, but my version of PIC BASIC Pro (v2.32 I think) does not support this PIC. How easy will it be to convert the assembly code generated for another PIC (not sure which one would be most appropriate) to code which will work on the 688, bearing in mind that I know absolutely no assembly language at all?
Thanks,
James.

Why not just get an upgrade?

You can always download the PIC's Datasheet, and create your own .INC and .BAS files - after all you have dozens of templates to follow in your PBP directory.

After you've spent several hours doing that, you'll discover a) that you've become an expert on your chosen PIC (this is good), b) that there are bugs in v2.32 that you wish you didn't have (this is bad), and c) the cost of the upgrade is really good value for money and that there are better things to do with your life (this is a fact).
