I was just looking at Digikey's web site and it comes across a bit scrambled in lynx so I thought I would verify a couple of things about the PIC16HV540. I thought I might buy a few to experiment with if they are still being produced. It looks like the JW parts sell for about $5.70 however I saw a message saying "non-stock" on a line above the unit price. The problem is that the page when displayed in lynx is oddly formatted and it is kind of hard to tell what goes with what. If this chip isn't being produced any longer, I don't need one for a specific use and will just put a 7805 or similar in the circuit and power some other PIC from that. Thanks.
