Yep, the Needham's programmer's such as the EMP-10, EMP-20 and EMP-30
     allow you to program in the OSCCAL value directly, which is usually
     better than including it in your source code since this means you have
     to recompile every time you use a different chip. Remember when
     entering in the OSCCAL value in the memory editor that you must
     reverse the two bytes in the instruction since they are displayed as
     LLHH in the editor.

This is the best way of doing it.

The instruction at the end of memory (0x03FF for the 12C509, 0x01FF for the
12C508) should be:


 org 0x03FF                             ;  Jump to the Last Instruction
  movlw  ConfigValue

UNLESS your programmer will allow it be be programmed separately.  I only
use a PICStart Plus, so I don't know how others work.
