		
		P18CC --- PIC18Fxxxx C compiler
		-------------------------------
		
		
Welcome to try this C compiler that supports Microchip's PIC18Fxxxx series
CPUs.


- P18CC is a small, easy to use, but efficient C compiler.  It's been
  ported to both Linux and Windows environments (because it's developed
  using GNU C/C++ tool set).

- P18CC is simple to use. Any programmer (even for those entry level
  programmers) can pick it up in few minutes!
  
- P18CC works under console/terminal mode.  
  
- P18CC can only support 8, 16 and 32-bit integers (float type not
  supported at this time).  Also, it supports 'struct' and 'union'
  for complecated data.

- P18CC generates efficient object code, much better than some well known
  compilers.  It generates two(2) files as the output(.LST and .HEX) after
  compiling, assembling and linking.
  
- P18CC can support extended instruction set that new generation of PIC18 CPUs
  have.[*]  In most situations, especially for 16 or 32-bit operations, using 
  extended instruction set will get better result (smaller code size and faster
  running speed).
  
  [* Free version of P18CC will not support extended instruction set]

- Free version of P18CC limitations:

  (1) not support extended instruction set;
  (2) only support up to 256 bytes RAM (soft stack can exceeds this limit).
