Grinder,

I wanted to point out that I have had this message, too, lest you think you 
are the only one in the world that it happened to.  In fact, that was the 
result when I put MPLAB 7.22 on my laptop.  I gather from your messages 
that it WAS working and that you haven't changed anything since it was 
working (not even the software).

In my experience compiling the program causes the configuration bits to be 
changed.  This is another thing MPLAB didn't used to do in the old days, 
but it does now, and I'm forced to do my config setting in the CONFIG 
(FUSES, actually) line of the source.   I still check the bits afterward to 
see that they did what I told them to do.   But...I use C, not assembler, 
and I think you have choices as to using the COFF file or some other, or 
none at all.  Then there's the business of the config bits being in the HEX 
file, which is good, and the fact that MPLAB overrides the debug bit 
depending on the mode, which is...questionable.  Actually they've changed 
that so I get a warning now, which is a step in the right direction, anyway.

Oh, as to email, and quoting...email is an inexact science, and hard to get 
people to do the right thing, or even agree on what that might be, so the 
best approach is to take what you get, interpret it as best you can, and 
not rant too much about the method.  The quoting thing gets out of hand, 
best thing to do after it gets too deep is to remove the 
who-said-what.  After all, it's about the information, not the personalities.

Barry
