I am experienced programmer in Hi level and assy Z80,
PC, 68HCxxx 8051 etc.)

Do you know any simple PIC documentation and assembler which
doesn't take weaks to understand and runs without WINDOWs ?

Here's a link to an online book - don't know about a non-Windows assembler, but there are free development tools available at microchip.com.

As far as windows is concerned, I don't know of anything to help you. I would suggest; however, if you are just starting with Microchip to consider using Atmel AVR stuff. It seems to me that their tools and products work better without weird 'undocumented' mess ups like I used to have everyday with Microchip. I never used one I liked except for the 12c508. Atmel has good programming suites and many people have some great C compilers and RAD tools. A basic compiler that is just like Qbasic is available from

I don't think they will have any non-windows tools though, sorry.
