Translating Parallax Pic assembly to Microchip

Started by Peter Jetson March 24, 2004
I have a number of older PIC projects that were written using Parallax
assembly mnemonics for the 16C56 and 16C57, and I need to firstly
convert the source code to Microchip mnemonics, and then make the
programs run on newer PIC's with flash memory instead of OTP.

I've spent quite a bit of time googling to try to find a program to do
(or help me do) the source code translation, without much luck.  The
best lead I was able to turn up was a program called ParaPic, written by
a Tony Nixon, but the web sites that it used to be available from no
longer exists, and all of the links I was able to find pointed to the
same non-existent places.

Can anyone point me to either this program, or something else that will
help me with the translation?

Thanks in advance,
Peter Jetson
