Hello All,

I am porting some 16f84 code to a shiny,
new 16f877 in the new IDE i got for my
birthday.  I am having trouble getting
porta to work as digital I/O.  Here is the
snip:

      list    p=16F877
        __CONFIG   _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF &  _RC_OSC
;&_LVE_OFF<--hates this
        include "P16F877.INC"
beep_pin        equ     3
;-----------------------------------------
        nop                                             ;for use by ide
        ORG     0               ;Reset Vector
         ORG     4               ;Interrupt
        bsf     STATUS,RP0
        clrf    PORTC           ;portc set output
        movlw   b'00000001'
        movwf   PORTA
        movlw   B'00000110';.6--magic number
        movwf   ADCON1  ;???    ;TURN OFF ADC
        bcf     STATUS,RP0
        CLRF    PORTA
        movlw   b'00001000'
        movwf   porta   ;no beep here


The watch window shows that adcon1 is set
as instructed, and the porta pins set as
instructed, but there is no voltage on the
led when i run the program on the chip
under debug, and it does not detect the
input on porta,0.

im confused.  Can anyone see where i fell
off the bus?

thanks,
alice
