I must support an HC11 based product.
It uses the Avocet compiler which is DOS based, is there a newer Windows based compiler/IDE I could use which is free?
Where can I find a C editor (one that changes color for comments and matches brackets etc..
Is there a Windows Grep program available

GCC for HC11/12 is free: GNU Development Chain for 68HC11&68HC12

Code::Blocks is an IDE for C/C++, and can integrate with GCC (above)
Programmer's Notepad is another option (not as fancy IMO)

BareGrep is a windows grep program. If you want a commandline grep program for windows, there're a few available. Search for "windows grep"

Hey thanks a lot for the information!
What would be involved in porting it over from Avocet, I am not an expert, I know enough to get by.

Any standard C will work without modification; any Avocet-specific keywords/syntax (if any) will need changing. You may need to change the header file names also.
