I just want to confirm this before I zap any chips.

I installed an Aries 40-Pin Universal ZIF socket that accepts both the =
wide (0.6") and the thin (0.3") ICs. Additional Vcc, Gnd, MCLR, Strobe, =
and Select lines were wired to the appropriate pins on the ZIF to =
accommodate the various smaller PIC chips.=20

The question is: While programming a particular PIC chip, does it matter =
that some of its I/O ports may be inadvertently subjected to the =
programming voltages?=20
