  This is a quick port of  Cpik,a PIC C  language compiler for microcontrollers
based on the PIC18 family.  Coupled with a PIC programmer (many projects can be
easily found on the web), it can be used to program a PIC with OS/2.

  I  didn't have  a way  to test it,  because  currently I  don't  have  a  PIC
programmer. So,  I can't guarantee it  will work for you.  That said,  I simply
ported  the source code on OS/2  without changing it, so as far as the compiler
works correctly I don't think this program will harm your machine. Even so, you
are on your own - the program is given "AS IS".

  I also included in this distribution another software  (inch2h) which must be
used for cpik to work.

  The complete documentation for  cpik  is included in the doc/ subdirectory in
PDF and HTML format. inc2h provides help by its command-line options.

  Please make sure you have the latest GCC DLLs  installed, because I made this
port with GCC 4.92 by Paul Smedley.  Consider also making a donation to him, or
to the other OS/2 developers who work hard  in their spare time to provide OS/2
with updated and new software.  If you feel like suggesting me some useful code
to port on OS/2, or other suggestion, please do so. I very grateful accept your
contributions.

  Have fun!
