  Neither do I. It is all Ansi C.

  Yes, because it is free. I also consider the tools very reliable and
the debugger is straightforward to understand. Only the resource editor
is a bit weird and unstable, but maybe I'm using it in a wrong way.

I made a common mistake: I forgot to include some files, which are
required for compiling the project. They are in different folders on my
PC, namely "include" and "lib". Please find the missing files at

Many thanks - only just downloaded Watcom!

in one of the demo projects following freertos there is a perl script doing
what you ask i think, it is called makefsdata.

It is a collegue that used this just helped him with some cygwin perl, so I
haven't any URL for you, but google will help you.

Do you really need the C file or just need the data? If the later, objcopy
can copy a binary input to elf or other output that you then can link with
your application. It creates symbols for start end and size of the date that
you can just pick up in your C program. This is how I link some pictures with
my code.

google for a program named bin2c
there are a million (ok, a few dozen) that are all available as source
and various developers pages. One of them should work or you can easily 
modify to suit your needs.

Google found 22,000 sites!  Many thanks.

You can use Microchip MPFS(Microchip Pic File System). This is will
convert your data files (*.*) to C file/ .Bin file. You can download
MPFS in http://www.microchip.com .

I had downloaded MCHPStack already but didn't realise it had MPFS within it.

Many thanks.
