.SH SYNOPSIS

.B piklab [TQt-options] [KDE-options] [file]

.br
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
\fBPiklab\fP is an integrated development environment for applications based on Microchip PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers
similar to the MPLAB environment. It integrates with several compiler and assembler toolchains (like gputils, sdcc, c18) and with the
simulator gpsim. It supports the most common programmers (serial, parallel, ICD2, Pickit2, PicStart+) and debuggers (ICD2).
