I see, you're thinking of hooking in gpasm and some programming software
using the cpplite API. I'll have to read up on it.
For those (few) that might be interested, I've written a (trivial) PIC
syntax-coloring mode for Jedit (http://www.jedit.org). I've fiddled
with it enough to edit/assemble/program a PIC. It has a nice API too
and it might be worth integrating the tools with it.
Thanks for the info, Eric!
