I've never heard of a YAP-2, but the 16F84 and the 12F675 have different
pinouts.  For one thing, the 84 is an 18 pin part and the 675 is an 8 pin
part.

Probably.

You can tell MPASM to generate a hex file with 16 bit instead of 32 bit
addresses.  See the /a command line option.  That will probably get rid of
the extended address record, although there is little excuse for software
not to read it properly.  That format has been around a long time.
