You ask why, that is simple, I am open minded enough to consider all
options, and my assumption is that most of the individuals in the group
do not carry prejudges. Besides, I think we are all looking for better
solutions each day.
Thank you for the two alternative, I will look at them as well.
Cheers
David

Just post a link please next time.
And turned off the receipt requests please. It is rather stupid to
request them when sending to an email list.
Why post commerical compiler comparisons to a gnu/linux email list ?
Wouldn't the piclist be better for this sort of question unless of
course your trolling ?
Couple of compilers for you to have a look at
as you seem to be looking at commercial pic c compilers:
lower cost
C2C and Whiz-C
C2C.
www.picant.com
http://www.picant.com/c2c/c.html
I use the C compiler, it works fine.
Haven't tried the C++ compiler yet and
there is also a pascal version.
Costs US$40
Gives similar featurers to CCS
Another I use is FED Whiz-C
http://www.fored.co.uk/pixie.HTM
http://www.fored.co.uk/Eindex.htm
standard version US$80
professional US$ (whatever 100 UK pounds converts to)
Both have demo versions which can be downloaded freely.
Well if your looking at compiler writers comparisons of other compilers

For an interesting comment on embedded tools find the thread on "8051
with debugging support" in news:comp.arch.embedded especially the posts
by Lewin Edwards and Jonathon Kirwan
a quick snipped quote
"Simply throwing money at expensive tools is no way of getting work done
quickly and efficiently. Understanding what you're about to buy (or
download for free) and learning how to exploit it fully is much more
useful. Skimping THAT is a false economy, I grant you. Frugality is a
virtue, not a vice as you make out. It's a double virtue in that it
forces you to make much more accurate forecasts about the net profit in
buying a tool at a given price."
