Suggestions for migrating from 18F8390 to 18F83J90

I've been handed a project to update that originally had an 18F8390 (supported by 3.249) but is now being constructed with an 18F83J90.

I haven't needed to update my compiler for some time now and I am currently using PCWH 3.249. However this version does not include a header file for the 18F83J90.

I've checked the two data sheets and noticed that many of the SEGxx pins have changed but not much else is obvious (we were already running 3.3v).

Is it reasonable to think I could adapt (header file changes) my PCWH 3.249 to accommodate the "J" version micro? I'm always a little hesitant to upgrade compiler versions that may break my older version code.

Thanks in advance,

Download the 18F83J90 data sheet.

Look in this section, in the back of the PDF:

Superb advice, I don't know how I missed seeing that but it is exactly what I needed.

Thanks PCM !!!
