2000-03-02 - "The PIC Source Book " by Scott Edwards - Posted by: Jeff Frohwein
The PIC Source Book was written in 1993 to provide users of the Parallax PIC programming tools with a ready-made collection of assembly code in Parallax assembly mnemonics. At the time, there were four PICs: 16C54, 55, 56, and 57. The popular '84 and ADC-equipped '71 were brand new. Since then, Microchip has made dozens of architectural enhancements to the PICs, and made its assembler available free via the net and CD-ROM. This has diminished interest in both the 5x PICs and the Parallax assembler.

As a result of these changes, the Source Book is reaching the end of its commercial life. Rather than discontinue it, the author has decided to make it available free via the Internet.
