Microprocessors need compilers to generate machine language binaries from source, per architecture (the x86 standard is a good example of an architecture, as there are many manufacturers of CPUs which all are (more or less) compatible, binary-wise). The same goes for microcontrollers. The Scenix microcontroller mentioned in my previous post has a free C compiler that you can download from the internet. Microchip provides MPLAB and MPASM as an umbrella C / ASM IDE and an assembler, respectively. There's a program named IC-PROG which provides assembling functions for many different microcontrollers / microprocessors.
Google is very useful, with regard to much of what I just said.

I am familiar with the functionality of the Parallax tokenizer, and I would like to take a bit of time to personally thank Rob Bayer, and everyone who has contributed to his software (I'm thinking Joe Ross, but I'm not absolutely certain) for all of their hard work.
