Thanks for the feedback. I did try mikroBASIC several years back, and when comparing the
code it produced to PBP & Proton, it totally sucked. Especially compared to Proton.

Perhaps I should try it again, but I really do prefer C to BASIC - so I might give the mikroC
compiler another look. That one wasn't exactly up to par the last time I tried it either.

Swordfish totally rocks, but I'm a tad concerned about it being supported in the near
future, and it's really depressing that it only supports the 18F series & needs that USB
dongle.

My work requires me to get things out like yesterday, and I can't/won't pay full
boat for a replacement dongle in a pinch .. when it craps-out.

Proton rocks too, but I'm not into installing beta software, that's a real pain in the
pooter, for any compiler that hasn't offered registerd users an upgrade for many years.

That really killed Proton here in the US.
