Chuck,

     The bit that is blown in my PIC14000 is CPP1 which is described as
     'Program space read/write protected'. So, no way to blindly reprogram
     the chip. Interesting to note that other manufacturers do allow blind
     reprogramming. But, they also have enough sense to make their code
     protection bits UV eraseable. (ie. Dallas Semi.)

     Joe

So given that the CP bit protects "readout" of a part, it should be possible to
still erase and program the part, just not verify it. If that is true, would it
 be
possible for some of the programming packages to have an option to
"Program without verify" or is that already available?
