Someone asked earlier about verifying programs before execution. If I were designing for an application of this sort I guess I'd pay the extra few dollars for the 17C4x series chips. These have a TABLRD instruction which can be used to read the program memory for testing. Hmm, now I think about it I might have an application for one.....
