It did, partly anyway, Yaman. Checking the Windows API button now allows me to
successfully use the Test Hardware dialogue. The Data In check box now works
correctly. The problem now is that Icprog dies with the following error:

err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable
to dispatch exception.

I think this may be a lost cause and that I will have to continue to
investigate other PICF876A programming methods under Linux.

I also tried xwisp but I didn't really progress very far with it. "./xwisp.py"
gave me the help information but "./xwisp.py port /dev/ttyS0 term 1200"
returned several error messages including "ValueError: invalid literal for
int(): /dev/ttyS0". Most likely I've misunderstood how to use xwisp but I'll
continue to experiment with it.
