I wish melabs would come up with the support for 16 bit PIC devices. Although I know that I am still not over 8 bits devices yet, however it would always be nice to know that there will be something after 8 bit devices that my compiler can support.

24F, 24H, 30 & 33 series, 16-bit PICs are trying to make headway... the current design competition has a lot of us muddling through C to put something together.
Support for these chips would be most welcome.
I spoke with Charles at Melabs. He said it is not as simple as writing a new include file. The architecture is drastically different, and when it appears, it will be a whole new beast. So much for my $25.- upgrade!

Yes they are really different animals indeed. 'Till now, the only few Compiler i know that support them is
Microchip c30
Hi-Tech C
and MikroElektronika
C30 work pretty good.. but i don't like it. Hi-Tech is really nice... but a bit expensive if you use it for your own home-made purpose. MikroElektronika... i don't know.
And yes, ASM is still free... but a pain
Let's see what will happen.. finger crossed!

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
I've been keeping up on the Mikro Basic forums for the dsPIC/PIC24. I still don't know what to think about it and it seems like there isn't much of a customer base. I'm still half tempted to try it out. dsPIC/PIC24 can run 40MIPS vs. PIC @ 10MIPS, more flash, more ram, faster speeds, etc.etc.etc.
But, then I'd almost think I was some sort of traitor for switching brands.
