My big hesitation with switching to MicroC is configuring a USB connection. I have been very successful with the PICkit2 package.
This experience with the USB port using Hyperterminal has taxed my understanding of the system.
I hesitate to change. I assume I can get a USB compatible (0.1" centers) connector at our local YouDoIt Electronics store. I'll do more reading from the mikroBasic WEB page.

Thanks, Ken
