Issac, The problem is going to be in the configuration of the 16f877a.=20 There is no activity on the en or the r/s pins. Argh! I thought that=20 this might be the problem. The clock is running. I have every reason to=20 believe that the pins are not set for digital I/O. Here is the setup=20 statements: TRISD =3D 0; TRISA =3D 0; ADCON0 =3D 0; ADCON1 =3D 0; CMCON =3D 0; Any more thoughts on this? Thanks, rich!
