thanks for the quick reply...

are these compilers and assemblers downloadable for free? i can only find a demo version and it is just capable of compiling 30 lines.

could you please give me the procedure on how to program the vinculum(vdip2) using pic microcontroller? i'm kind of confused. will the command set of the vinculum be included in the program that will be burned to the pic just like in the code above? i'm new at this so please help me...thank you very much.
