No coincidence why there's not much compiler who support them. 'Till now Microchip C30, Hi-Tech C, and Mikro Elektronika if my memory is good. I heard that some other alreday work on this.... be patient...

I use them in some audio dsp stuff.


You're using them already? I was thinking about buying the MikroBasic for dsPICs and building one of those huge audio spectrum analyzers using their FFT code. How good is that Microchip code for Audio DSP (well, compared to the garbage they put out for the PIC18Fxxx series a few years ago)...
