For experimenting I tend to solder the 10 pin header into veroboard then -
delicately! - grind the track away between the pins. I use a hand held
mini-drill with a small grinder thingy rather like a dentist's drill bit.

Then I snip a wire wrap IC socket down the middle (or use a row of long
pinned headers) & push the pins thru the vero board so they line up with
header pins. Have to drill the holes out a bit. Then solder & you have a
socket you can plug into vero. Jumper wires go from the pins to
PIC/components on the veroboard.

The pattern looks like so :-

-----*--o o--*----   Veroboard track
-----*--o o--*----
-----*--o o--*----
-----*--o o--*----
-----*--o o--*----

Make sense? It uses a lot of real estate on the proto b. so you usually have
to use two such boards, depending how many components you have.

My 20c worth - Brian
