I'm afraid I must confess, I am the big file culprit. My apologies. Here is my original response with a link to the file: http://www.amulvey.com/PIC_ICSP_Guide_30277d.pdf Microchip used to publish a PIC "In Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) Guide" #30277d. I couldn't find it on their web site so I have attached a link to this post.
