My platform is 16F877 and 16C774 (the software should be almost the same
for both chips). AFAIK the WDT is enabled by CONFIG word. How can
I enable/disable it in software?

Well, if I could imitate the RESET by "goto 0", I would be glad.
But there are a few problems:
1) I need to convert my "interrupt thread" into the "main thread",
   is setting of GIE, PEIE... enough to achieve it?
2) I should extend my INIT routine so that it sets the initial values in all
   important registers...
