Hello people
  Since I apparently inadvertently whiffed both my 16c84's getting my
programmer working (I hope).And it will be a couple days before Digi-Key
gets the new ones to me.I want to work out my test code in picsim2.
    {ribald comments gracefully tolerated}
My Questions :
 If it (the code) works on the sim will it work on the 16c84 hdw?

 Is there a programmable bit that I could have inadvertently flipped and
cannot now flip back through normal reprogramming procedures ? One that
has disabled the clock on both my chips?I,ve tried both crystal & RC
modes "with appropriate hdw changes" nada,zip...

 Setting an output port makes the pin "high" correct?

 Reading an input port bit held "high" externally returns a 1 correct?
Regards
Tony M.
