Re: Need C18 Compileer

The C18 compiler is no longer available on-line. It was made available to all FIRST teams during the competition season as part of a special deal with Microchip. The terms of the license stated that it would only be distributed to the teams during the build/competition season. As responsible members of the FIRST community, we need to make sure that we all abide by the terms of the license (lest we not receive such a generous offer again).

If you need to get a copy now, you have two avenues of recourse:
1) Get the copy that your team should have received during the 2005 season. You may still use your team's copy as long as it is for team support/development purposes. Someone on your team should still have it.
2) Get it from Microchip. The "Student Version" is free, and available online. If your demands are not too exacting, this version may do just fine for you (at least to learn the compiler and practice). If you need the full release version, you can buy it for $495.00
