I'm a newbie at assembler (or writing any code for that matter) and want to know if there is an add-in to compile code for the 8051? Can I at least use the c51 compiler after composing the software in this IDE.

yes, it is possible to use such compiler with FASM add-in - look at the example

1.take WinAsm Studio for FASM - when you unpack it to D:\ it will have already configured FASM add-in. (other location - see readme inside)

2.then you have to work at least once:
- create new empty project (ctrl-N)
- add any empty asm-file (as WinAsm Studio is for asm, if there is no asm file in the project - compilation options will be blocked)

(to be continue)

- in project properties open "assemble" tab and type there, say: c51 my.c51
(or other commandline for compilation, it is supposed that after closing project properties box you will add "my.c51" file into project via menu: Project->Add New Other)

- then open project Environment tab and type there string like this:
PATH=%C51%

after closing properties box call environment manager via menu Add-Ins. open Studio tab and add C51 variable with real path to c51 on your PC. do not forget to press "apply" button!

this "complex" operations with environment will make your project "portable" - if somebody or even you on another pc have c51 in other location you will not need to change project settings when copy from one pc to another.
