What? From the company whose tools run in a 16 bit DOS box with  
mysterious configuration parameters hidden inside undocumented binary  
project files which have the full DOS pathname for every file you use  
making the project non-portable not even to another directory on the  
same machine?

I hear Microchip has remedied some of those problems. Some big users  
of the PIC dictate, "No Project", hard code all chip options including  
chip selection inside the source file. This is (was?) the only way to  
ensure the same compile/assembly options are used if the project is  
pulled out of archive sometime in the future.

As for myself, I really *like* Makefile.
