Micro Engineering Labs, Inc.
has the BASIC Stamp I compatible Picbasic Compiler

FED (Forest Electronics Developments)
has free BASIC development packages (PICmicro MCU BASIC).
PICBAS
was found on a Spanish "smartcard hack" site
WARNING: I have NOT tested this program! Use at your own risk!
BASIC Interpreters
Myke Predko
has BASIC87x for 16F876/16F877.
PicPuter
is a nifty project which turns a 16F87x PIC into
"stand-alone" computer running interpreted BASIC.
JAL compiler
Jal
is a free, open-source high-level language for PIC chips.
It is becomming increasing popular.
Java bytecode compiler
muvium
Is a Java compiler, bytecode interpreter, and bootloader for
16F87x and 18Fxxx PIC's. It has some nifty features.

ABC MICRO
has a disassembler in their PICabc visual assembler for the 16F84A.
PIC projects
Video StuffPONG and TETRISBootloader
can be played on your TV using a 16F84.
Rickard Gunée does this and more on his webpage.
video overlay
is available from David B. Thomas.
VGA video
can be generated with a 16F84!
A different PONG
by Eric Smith is available.
PIC-Tock

A Video Cross Hatch Generator
has been created by Dave Woodhouse, using a 16F84.MicrochipCWebservers
has a bootloader for 16F87x and 18Fxxx chips,
and is a good general PIC reference.
(Note: This used to be www.workingtechnologies.com/htpic)
Microchip (not to be confused with MicrochipC above)
has AN732 describing a bootloader for the PIC16F87x family
and AN851 describing a bootloader for the PIC16F87xA and PIC18F families.
A neat hack is a PIC as a webserver!WWWPIC
(from Russia) seems to be the "original", and is based on a 16C84
WWWPIC2
is based on WWWPIC, but done in English and with some updates.
IPic
may be the best-known PIC webserver, but the source code
was never released and the server itself is not online,
so take it with a grain of salt.
General stuff
Adam Davis' PIC Links
has pointers to just about anything you would ever need.
The PIClist
contains pointers to all things PIC, including webrings.
Fast Forward Engineering
has "the answers" to many PIC questions.
Massmind
is another source of PIC links.
PIC/Ubicom Dev'rs
has a wonderful link page to assemblers, compilers, disassemblers,
libraries, simulator, VHDL PIC cores, and more!
There is lots of stuff I can't fit on this page, check out the links sections of the websites above for even more stuff.
