Thanks Friedel. I saw the MPLAB thing - my boys and I booted it up and lost a
day trying to figure stuff out. We agreed (and THEY are not linux heads) that
whatever we used, it wasn't going to be MPlab. I have the Picstart plus,
I'm used abiword or kedit to write the code, (some even was done in vi),
gputils to assemble it and picp to program. A simple commandline interface.
GPSIM is a simulator. I found my way around all of these intuitively, except
for some weird and poorly documented simulation options.
You're right though, mplab is dangerous.
