Whats with all these PRO, Standard & Lite modes, compiler types, evaluation and full versions?

We have changed the way compilers are bundled. The transition period may lead to some confusion but the final product range will be simpler to understand and easier to use. For some time HI-TECH C compilers just had the one form, such as PICC and PICC-18. For some devices we introduced a separate Lite compiler, which was a separate product and a separate executable. With the Introduction of our OCG technology we introduced a new PRO compiler and the existing (non-OCG) compiler was then renamed as the STD compiler. So, for example we had a PICC PRO and a PICC STD compiler, as well as the Lite compiler. These were all separate compilers and separate executables. You had to download and install these separately if you wanted to be able to use them all. In MPLAB, to swap compilers you had to associate your project with a new compiler and rebuild. The next step of the transition was releasing just the one product and the one executable, but one which can operate in three operating modes: PR
