Includes support for all legacy PIC10, PIC12, and PIC16 devices, as well as the PIC14000.
"Hitech PIC C compiler has not been maintained for 6 years and replaced by XC8 which is the same compiler but has a lot of bug fixes and new features... I would NEVER use the old Hitech compiler to develop a medical product...if you do so let me know the product so that I avoid it ;=) XC8 is the renamed version and improved version of Hitech v8.xx. There is simply no reason to start a new project with the old Hitech compiler."

HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 MCUs V9.83: A Legacy Essential
While modern 8-bit development has transitioned extensively to MPLAB XC8, the HI-TECH C Compiler for PIC10/12/16 v9.83 remains an essential engineering artifact for legacy firmware management. By deploying this specific version within your toolchain, you preserve the exact optimization mechanics and compilation metrics required to keep legacy industrial, automotive, and commercial consumer electronics running smoothly without needing an expensive code architecture redesign. If you need help setting up your legacy project, tell me: There is simply no reason to start a
