I don't remember this particular question being part of the thread a few
weeks back, and the archive site isn't responding.

I programmed a windowed 16c74 (I know it's not recommended and I don't
care if I have to throw it out or not) with code protection enabled.
I'm still able to read and save the hex file using the PICStart and its
associated PC software.  The saved hex file is about 20% smaller than
the original hex file I programmed into the device, so I assume that
it's corrupted in some way.

The question(s): is there any reason to be concerned?  Is any of the
code recoverable from the hex file I downloaded from the protected
device?
