Hi,

If you are using the free tools provided by Microchip, it will have installed HI TECH C Compiler, if not you can download it from the MCHIP website.

Anyways, once it has been installed you can find UART code here:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\HI-TECH Software\PICC\LITE\X.XX\samples\usart
X.XX on my machine is 9.60

Regards

Yes, the MAX232 is supplied +5V. You also need to connect 4 capacitors to it. Do a Google image search and you'll see all the connection diagrams you could hope for.
