    Hi suicidal guy! Have you tried looking at Mikroelektronika's compiler yet? Just download their trial MikroBasic pro for PIC or MikroC Pro for Pic. Limited to 2k of code but will do for your LCD. I thought with Mikroe it's dead simple for your LCD.

    You state that "I should stick with generating simple characters if you want to use the 16F628A", I am fine with that.
    I really am.
    I just want to know how to wire up the 16F628A with this LCD.

    Any idea ?

    Look at the schematic on your eBay auction, then look at fig 5.13 on p.36 of the PDF I linked in post #2 at the top.

    Then look at LCDOUT in your PBP manual for some basics.

    And after all that start experimenting and post your results back here.
