Seasons' Greetings Everyone!!

  Thank You everyone for all the fantastic replies. Here's what I've
done in the past few days :-

1) Got hold of the Hitech PIClite C cross compiler
2) Am now writing progs. only in C (as compared to Assembly)
3) Our college got hold of a few 16F84 and 877 trainre kits.
Interfaced stepper motors and tried of several timer and port
experiments

I want know if what i'm doing is right-

1) Write the code in C
2) View the assembly version
3) Cut out extra lines and optimize Assembly Code
4) Generate Hex code and download it into the PIC

 The problem's that the compiler's a demo version. Codes that are > 2k
arent't assembled. Is there a freeware compiler ( I know I sound like
a cheapskate; sorry I'm eternally broke)

Regards,
Devyn
