Take a look at CC8E from B Knudsen Data. I've used for years and found
it to be excellent.There's a free version for evaluation.

Thanks for all comments and opinions. I have decided to go for the MicroChip
C18 compiler. It gives me 60 days time to port and finish the current code
and so far, things are looking good.

You should check the license... most time limited compilers are for
evaluation and not for commercial use. You normally can not ship a
product with an eval compiler. That said I don't know of any compiler
company that has actually enforced that clause.

I know. And I'd be happy to pay for a license when this whole thing compiles
and runs the way we want.
