Cool Clock with HDSP-2111 Display

Cool Clock with HDSP-2111 Display
Just a picture of my clock using PIC16f877a microcontroller (the project was done before I discovered PIC16f887). The HDSP-2111 (or HDSP-211x) display is a very cool led dot matrix. The interface is very easy. The quick and dirty code (no time setting function)is here.
//PIC16f877a PIC Microcontroller, 20MHz
#define Address PORTA
#define Data PORTB
#define WR PORTC.F5
#define A3 PORTC.F4
#define RST PORTC.F3

typedef unsigned short uns8;
uns8 hour;
uns8 minute;
uns8 second;
uns8 cnt;
uns8 min_cnt;
uns8 Digit[24];
uns8 i;
uns8 j;
uns8 pause_timer;
void setup();
void Init_Display();
void set_time(uns8 hr,uns8 min,uns8 sec);
void make_time();
void show_time();
void scroll();
void interrupt() {
PIR1.TMR1IF = 0; // clears TMR1IF
TMR1H = 0x0B; //Start at 0x0BDC (to overflow at 62500)
TMR1L = 0xDC;
// TMR1 starts at 0x0BDC = 3036 to make TMR1 counts to 62500 and
// overflows in every 0.1 sec
// Math: 1/5000000*8*62500 = 0.1
// 1/5000000 : time for 20MHz crystal (internal clock will be 20/4 = 1MHz)
// 8: prescaler
// 62500: TMR1 counts to 62500
// Counting number of overflows to 10 will get 1 sec.
cnt++ ; // Increment counter
}
void main(){

Just curious - what compiler did you use for this?
