<< Hello!
 I would really be gratefull if anyone of you guys could answer the following
  two question please?
 oK
 1) When you program a PIC with two Vdd pins and two Vss pins, do they both
 need to be connected?
 YES
 2) Still when programming a PIC, what will happen if any of the I/O pins is
 connected to ground?
 nothing when MCLR is at VPP all pins are configured as inputs the same as at
power up.
 Long live the PIC!!
