You can translate the code inside back into assembly - it is pretty straight forward. About displaying the sentences in assembly, you might need to use the indirect addressing mode.
PIC - UIC00B from Cytron (replacement for my broken PICKit 2), Pickit 3, MikroC for PIC
dsPIC - MikroC for dsPIC, mikromedia board (dsPIC33)
AVR - AVR Dragon
Parallax - Prop tool
