It's downloadable from my webs= ite at ; select Electronics -> Boot18 PIC bootload= er. IIRC it only supports the PICs that program in 8-byte blocks. It's possib= le to mod it to do the PIC18s with larger block sizes, but I don't have much time for personal pursuits (read "stuff I don't get paid for") at the mom= ent. I *do* have the hardware to fix the bootloader; what I don't have is the money to cover the cost of a few PICs. Seriously - I spent my last =A347 = on a Student Railcard on Monday...
