MPLAB A/D 10 bit Simulating

Hi,

I have 2 questions.

1. I am using MPLAB 5.7 and I want to simulate my program which uses 10 bit A/D (e.g. 16F877). I would rather do this on an actual PIC, but I currently don't have access to one. So I am stuck with a simulator.

Now, I read the MPLAB help, but it explains how an 8 bit register is loaded (using *.reg file) and simulated.
For a 10 bit A/D simulation, am I to presume that I would have to load ADRESH and ADRESL? Can someone tell me specifically how to simulate a 10 bit A/D converter?

2. MPLAB 7.0 recently came out. Seeing how I'm still using version 5.7, I was thinking about an update!:D
Although I already read some info at Microchip.com about this version, I would still like to know what CCS users think of it.

What are your experiences with version 7? How well is CCS compiler supported (I heard that for ver. 6.xx, a patch for CCS was needed.)?
How good is the simulator and is it easy to use?

Thanks for all the responses.

Did you email Darren about this ? I'm not sure that it will help,
but if he isn't notified he'll certainly never do anything about it.
He could at least ban the I.P.'s of the guests that do this.
