gcbasic and mplab integration

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I installed the lastest version of gcbasic and the lastest versione of mplab
but I don't find GCBasic in the list of "Language Toolsuite". Why ?
Do I do something wrong?

GCBASIC cannot be integrated into MPLAB, as no toolsuite file has been prepared to enable it to.

    Does this mean we cannot use assembly language with the higher level Basic

No.  Here is an example of using assembler in GCBasic:

If HighLow.8 1 Then  'Test for sign bit
'OWTemp = HighLow/2
OWTempL = HighLow    'Split word into bytes so byte size
OWTempH = HighLow_H  'Assembler operations can be used
  comf  OWTempL       'Invert Low byte bits in the Register
  incf  OWTempL       'Add One to Low byte to turn into 2's compliment
  comf  OWTempH       'Invert High byte bits
OWTemp = OWTempL     'Reassemble bytes back into word
OWTemp_H = OWTempH

Could have used GCBasic command OWTempL = !HighLow just as easily, with the same effect.  I am not the one to ask about assembler operations, but it seems to me that someone was using their GCBasic COMPILED.ASM file in MPLAB.
