16F677 and v3.249

I was hoping to start a new design using the PIC 16F677, however the .h file is missing from my copies of PCM v3.246, v3.248 and the final v3.249? Whilst I await a reply from CCS - anyone got any bright ideas how to get round this?

I am using the command line version of PCM.

NOTE the CCS web page shows that this should be included in the PCM compiler! http://www.ccsinfo.com/devices.php?page=devices

Look at the release date of 3.249. Look at the release date of the 16F677. How do you think it can get in there...
The 677, is supported in the newer V4 compilers.
I agree, that the fact that CCS, stopped updating the compiler for new chips, for a year, while they tried to get V4 to work, is annoying, and silly, but V3.xxx, never had support for the device. The list, is for the chips supported by the current compiler.
You should be able to add support for it yourself (look at the recent thread about how to do this).

Best Wishes

Sorry I was having a bad day yesterday.

What confused me was the fact that the 16F677 shared a data sheet with other devices which did have .h files in v3.249. I should have read Appendix A in the data sheet before posting here - this says that the 16f677 was added at a later date. I stand corrected.
