Why not contact:
Jeff Schmoyer <71165.322@CompuServe.COM>
at microEngineering Labs.

MEL not only did the drivers for the EPIC programmer, they also did the
PicStic software. I realise that you built your own PicStic equiv. but
I'm sure Jeff would be
concerned if he knew the latest MPASM threw out a config wobbly that his
EPIC software couldn't handle.
