Even if it doesn't, you may do a chip erase before programming. As a note, I already received PIC samples from a local Microchip distributor already programmed with other people's program (not code protected). It appeared to be the control firmware for a breath alcohol tester (there was ASCII strings with messages). __________________________________________________ Fa=E7a liga=E7=F5es para outros computadores com o novo Yahoo!
