SPI interface

All doable, but I don't think you can access MikroE library to see how they implement their SPI_Ethernet_x routine huh?

I think you could probably port some "open source" routine, say C18, to PBP.

If your time is short, sometimes you may want to stick with a language that already work and learn it rather than reinvent the wheel.

Steve, nice to see you back

Yeah... I must admit I really want to sick with PBP but with other languages already having library files for this sort of thing, then it is tempting to move over to the dark side !

You can change a car transmission with a flat screwdriver, but it need a bit more work Same goes for compiler. Compilers are just tools, there's nothing bad using more than one, use the one that fits your requirement.

If you feel you may have some requirement for it in the future, I suggest you to port some existing libraries. There's some in C18 on Microchip's website. THere's also some pre-canned solution like ethernet module (Rabbit, Charon, Lantronix etc etc).
