I have a picall programmer and it works fine.  What kind of cable are you
using.  It has to be a 25 wire straight thru cable.  You cannot just use a
serial cable to connect to the p16pro as it may not have all the wiring
needed.

It is not writing the data into the chip.  Try doing a chip erase and then
try again.  What happens when you click on Settings/HardwareSetup-Test.
Does it pass all the tests?  Is it identifying your board correctly?  What
are you using for a  power adapter?  What happens when you click on
Help/About Hardware?

Fuse/Prot bits should be defined inside your source code.  The picallw
software will get the information from the hex file.  SN/ID is for your own
usage to assign sequence/serial numbers.  The Start/End Prog fields are
filled in automatically based on the particular chip.  You do have the
P16PRO selected as the programmer type, right?  You do have Microchip and
the "Exact" chip specified in the drop down boxes at the top of the screen?

> Any help greatly appreciated,

If it passes all the hardware tests, check with a volt meter to be sure that
the Vpp is in the right range, and is being applied to the chip.  Check all
solder connections again and again, make sure all diodes are in the way.
These things do work, and they should work fine.  I have the picall
programmer and it works perfectly.  The picallw software works with more
than one type of programmer, so you have to be sure you have the correct one
selected.  Again, does it pass all the communication/hardware tests???
