Difference between MPASM(PROTEUS) and MPASM(MPLAB)

[picchiedi]

Hello.
I have not really clear what is the difference if I use, as a compiler, MPASM(Proteus) instead of MPASM(MPLAB) one, when compiling a PIC source.
Thank you.

Both are substantially the same thing.
MPASM(PROTEUS) is included in Proteus installation and, therefore, won't require any external Microchip tools.
Conversely, MPASM(MPLAB) requires that Microchip's MPLAB is installed.

For this reason MPASM(PROTEUS) might be not updated to the latest Microchip tools version, so if you have them installed then I would proceed with MPASM included in MPLAB.

Thanks a lot, Ettore.
