I'll have a 40-pin Dual In-line Package PIC16F887 on my board, and I 
want to be able to both program and debug it while it's in its circuit.

On my board, the Vss pin of the 887 will be hardwired to 5 V... but will 
I need this to be a higher voltage for programming it?

I'm reading through the datasheet right now, but could someone please 
help me out? Basically I want to know which pins I should connect to a 
header so that I can hook up my Pickit2 to the board to program and 
debug it.
