I think this code was originally posted in 'alt.satellite.tv.crypt', it was
in response to questions on how to program EEPROM using a PICSTART. The full
code in question was for using two 16C84's for decoding D2-MAC satellite
transmissions. The poster of this code got over the PICSTART problem by
running a program that wrote the required data to EEPROM, then you write the
main program to the PIC. Probably he's having problems actually decoding the
scrambled programs, however a number of people have replyed to the original
posting saying that this method of EEPROM programming works fine.
