Richard, good to hear from again, according to the melab serial
programmer
help section all F81s, F87As, and f87/88s should have Portb3 grounded.
I've
recently bought a Melab serial programmer and had to use my old 22pin zif
with it. I can't tell if the Port3 is grounded or not. I've ordered a
8-40
pin zif and maybe the port3 is ground on it. Maybe, mabe not. I'll try it
in
circuit with the pin grounded and see what happens.
thanks
bill

Bill,
As it turns out, I was just working on a 16F819 project. So I tried
my melabs serial programmer a couple of minutes ago and it worked
fine. I have the 8-40 ZIF adapter and nothing else is required.
Not true when I was using a 16F57 - I had to buy a special dongle
for that chip.
FWIW, I have never been able to get the programming software to run
on Windows XP. I know it should but it doesn't work for me. I run
it on my old Win98 SE machine - works fine.

Code programming error is MELabs way of saying somthing is wrong with
the target - usually no Vdd or low Vpp but it could be anything, its a
pretty generic error message. I believe it specifically means that
the programmer couldn't gain control of the PIC but it runs in my mind
it also happens on a validation error in some circumstances. Check
to make sure you've got voltage to the chip - I've seen it there
(programmer is powered, icsp target is not).
