PIC18F84 with PCM and MPLAB

Hi, I'm new to CCS C compiler and I am using the PCW demo version (v3.17) for compilation. The PIC16F84 is used, and PCM is recommended for the compilation. I am also trying to use MPLAB v6.4 with this version of C Compiler. When I started to run the compiler in MPLAB, a message, "your version of CCS Compiler is too old" pop up and the below errors messages occured:

1)"Invalid +M option" when I compile in MPLAB
2)"Unknown device type" when I compile in both MPLAB and PCW compiler

I've checked out the examples which compiled well but those files only used PIC16C63 and PIC16C554. No examples on PIC16F84. Provided with the fact that I have not purchase the PCW, and only using the demo version, can any body tell me how to solve this problem? Crying or Very sad

See the following link for devices available for use with the demo, the 16F84 is not listed...but you can get a more recent version of the demo compiler.

I've check out the link. There are no files that has any indication that I can use it for PIC16F84. I am using the latest version of PCW demo that is available in the link. I just wonder how the compiler determine the device type? And, the divice already selected when I chose the criteria to compile the file. Thanks for the recommendatiyon any way.
