Be aware that MPLAB 4.12.12 is an interim release.
I had to go back to 4.12 because the __CONFIG directive
would always be loaded at location 0 (zero.)  That's
bad and causes all sorts of problems.  That was for
a 17 series part.  Maybe the 16s are not doing that.
But, if it is telling you that you have no configuration
word, most likely the default word is what you are
using.  That is usually a bad thing.  I figgered
the problem by looking at the map file.  You are
generating a map file aren't you? :-) :-)  They
really are only useful when you have these sorts
of problems.

Subject: Problems with programming the 16F877


Can anyone please send me a working simple programm for the 16F877 (.hex
and
.asm file).
All programms, I've burned on the F877 yet didn't work, on every
Port-pin
there has been 1,2V. With the F84, I've never had any problems, all
programms
worked, so I guess it might be because of the MPASM. My programmer
(P16PRO)
always says :" Configuration word is not included with hexfile" when I
open a
file assembled by the MPASM, but nevertheless my programmer burns the
file
perfectly on the pic.
I hope someone can help me
