As I said, CV has worked very well for me, i.e., I did "try before you
buy".

Indeed, it supports a tiny memory model for the AVRs with 256 bytes of
RAM or less. This yields 8 bit pointers to RAM. One complex program I
wrote was far smaller with this mode than with GCC or BASCOM or IAR.
Indeed, with GCC the code was too large to fit in the flash.

I am not pumping CV - I use GCC a lot too. But CV is a fine product
and the support is A+++.
