Tony,

Microchip's attempt to support PIC assembly in XC8 was indeed an initial failure. It has improved since then, so around IDE v5.45 I ported the MultiMod assembly code over to the pic-as assembler. Some changes are needed for the assembler directives, and it maddingly doesn't support text strings, but overall works fine. You can see an example here

Microchip hasn't abandoned assembly, they just munged up their transition to XC8. As usual, the documentation could use some attention
