Please, to somebody that Can help me out....


        I«ve seen in the data sheet of a PIC (PIC16C73,PIC16C76)  that it can be
In-Circuit Serial Programming.  

        Yesterday I ask a question about it and I learn (thanks to Mr. Steven
Kosmerchock) that I need only few pins to program the PIC via serial, so:

        1. - That mean I don«t need a programmer for the PIC.

        2. - Can I program the PIC (a complete program) with only few lines ?

        3. - Is neccesary to get a program anyway ?

        4. - What«s the advantage to have a programmer Vs The in-Circuit Serial
programming ?

        If somebody can help me, I«ll apreciate it very much, thanks.
