16F88 with MPLAB 5.70

Until I decide what to do with Windows and MPLAB I'm using the free
CC5X C compiler: <http://www.bknd.com/cc5x/download.shtml>

I have my 40g HD partitioned and the OS selected via a boot manager. Each
partition is under 10g. An additional 80g drive (as D:) is used for backup.
Fresh images of each of the main drive partitions are kept here for
emergency along with an incremental backup. These images are also kept
externally on CDs. Applications, compilers etc., are actually installed to
the D: drive to reduce storage and backup requirements. Works well for me.
