I did not hear that and can not confirm.

But, since we are in PBP forum, you can use INPUT and/or OUTPUT commands to do what TRIS does.

Example:

TRISA.1 = 1
'make PORTA.1 an input pin.

same as

INPUT PORTA.1
'Make PORTA.1 an input pin.


or

TRISE.2 = 0
'Make PORTE.2 an output pin.

same as

OUTPUT PORTE.2
'Make PORTE.2 an output pin.
