PIC12F508 -- trivial program fails to compile to hex

Similar problem to the one I reported here:

Don't know what you guys did to fix the 12F609 chip config file, but it seems the same needs to be done for the 12F508 and maybe also for its cousins 12F509 and 16F505.

Hello,
The BoostC compiler we are using does not currently support the 12F5xx and 16F5xx devices which is why your getting compilation errors.
For Flowcode v4 we allowed these devices to be used by allowing Flowcode to work with the HiTech compiler which did support everything.
Since then the HiTech compiler has been bought by Microchip and is no longer available, however we left the devices in for v5 and v6 just for anyone already using the solution with HiTech installed.
The XC8 compiler is very similar to HiTech but we make no promises that everything or even anything will work as is.
We have a plan in motion to support more of the PIC range of devices and so hopefully we will have a workable solution available to our users again soon.

Bummer. I'm trying to do a like-for-like on this job.

Good to know and can't come quickly enough for me. If I never again see the infamous "error code 1" it will be too soon!
