 +This is a C compiler for the dsPIC and PIC24 24-bit address word PICMicros.
 +
 +Installation is comprised of two steps. The first step installs
 +the commercial compiler and the support files. The second step
 +is used to replace the compiler with the free edition. The
 +support files are needed in step 2 from step 1.

-The free edition utilises header files and libraries from the commercial edition so perform the installation steps given above. The free edition has no limitations and does not require a license for optimisations.+The source code for the compiler needs a number of patches to build and operate. Patches were sourced from patches from the older c30 compiler and others created for XC16. The 
 +resultant build has proven to produce binary objects that work on the target devices.

 +The install script expects the commercial compiler and includes files
 +to be installed so it may copy the support files to the build directory.
 +
 +The final output of this process is not elegant and can do with more
 +work but this is not a high priority.
