An updated version of MPLAB is posted on the Microchip web page:
        www.microchip.com

This version has software support for newly released PICmicro devices
and  improvements over v3.40. The Project Manager has been streamlined,
thanks to, among others, feedback from users on this list.

The MPLAB v3.40 Project Tutorial has been updated to reflect these
changes.
