I can connect via serial, parallel, or USB to a micro. I figured with C being as common as it is in the world of microcontrollers, it would be the way to go. Perhaps it is not. Thank you very much for the help, and I will begin my trek across the web for a microcontroller group/forum.

I'm sorry, but it's not going to be that easy. You can download plenty of free C compilers that you can use to run programs on ordinary personal computers, and you can get all the answers you want about them from this or many other lists. But a compiler that will generate programs that run on a microcontroller is not going to be easy to find, and once you do find one, the only assistance you're likely to get will be from the compiler's creators. And such a compiler is likely to be expensive. Does the microcontroller have a way to plug in a cable connected to a PC? If so, what kind of cable? Do you know what voltages need to be applied to pins in that cable to control the microcontroller? If you do, maybe we can help you do that, but I wouldn't know how. Your best bet may be to look for lists similar to this one, but dedicated to microcontrollers. Someone there may be able to help you.

I am sure that I can buy a 250$ compiler to convert PBasic to hex, or ASM, or C, but there has to be an easier way! All the books on C I can find are oriented towards computer programming, not towards low level microcontroller operations. This project I am referencing here is a simple clock program, that will control 6 ICs. I don't know how, in C to do pin high/low statements and pauses, which is all I really need! I have MPlab IDE and the Pickit 2 to program and debug, but without the proper language to program a PIC with, I'm in Limbo! I'm pulling my hair out here!
