I'm from Canada (sorry for my bad english) and I've started to work a
little bit with PIC. Working with assembler is very hard to me. I want
to programming with a easier language for me like C and Basic.
I do that only for play and I dont want to spend a lot of money. Is
someone know some free sharewares or demo programs?

CCS do a reasonable C for about $95 - its not free, but is reasonably close
to K&R where possible. That's practically a shareware price, anyway
(assuming you register shareware you use).

They have an odd combination of accents up there. They same some words
correctly (like Yankees), some like the Brits, and some like Rebels. On to
a joke (pardon the lack of PIC application here).
Seems back quite a few years ago, they didn't have a name for that part of
the continent. In trying to pick a name, the Frenchies wanted something
romantic, but everybody else wanted a word that could be easily pronounced.
The feuding in the parliament along language lines went on for months,
until someone suggested, "Why don't we just draw letters from a hat, and
use that?"
Everyone was ecstatic. Here was a way that nobobody could be offended, and
the word would be left to Providence. They sent a delegation to the Queen
(in England) to get her approval, and she ok'd it with one provision. To
prevent any more squabbling, the drawing would be witnessed by an American
statesman, to guarantee objectivity.
The day arrived, and the American ('merkin, for you Canadians <G>) had his
long quill pen in hand. A Frenchie would draw a letter from a hat, and his
English-speaking companion would read it to the others. The American would
record the letters.
The first was drawn. It was held up for all to see, and the man said, "C,
eh?" The statesmen recorded it. The next was drawn. "N, eh?" This was
recorded also. Another came out. "D, eh?" At this point, the Yank started
jumping up and down. "THAT'S IT!" he shouted. The other two men looked at
him funny. "C'est?"
The American had written C-A-N-A-D-A on his paper.

PS. I have told this to several of my Canadian friends. They all went
ROFL when I said "C, eh." If you don't get it, you've never heard a Canuck
talk.

By which you mean a citizen of the United States of America?
You haven't taken over the whole continent yet!

Hmm, using 'merkin' as a tag for ethnic United Staters has
an hypnotically appealing tone <G>.

Any Canadian with sense won't go to a hostile Mid-East country and claim to
be an American just because he shares the continent with us and the
Mexicans. And few Canadians that I know would care to admit the Quebecers
are on the north side of the parallel (at least in public).

Eh Bob, you knew what I meant, yeah. For those who don't...
>PS: look it up.
if your dictionary has it. Ours goes from "merit" to "merle."
