All right, I don't know much about electronics so try to bear with me
here. I got all the stuff I need to program a Pic hardware wise, but I
swear to god I have had it with the programs. CDLite and Epicwin and
all that stuff basically sucks. Everything costs money, or is a crappy
trial and all I want to do is program a damn Pic in Picbasic. Every
program I get is missing files or is for the wrong OS (I'm on XP). I
don't know C, C+ or anything but I do know how to work in DOS well. Is
there hope for me? Can anybody help me out?

Thanks,
Nick
