 What is new? 


Ŀ
 Version 1.21 

 Bug by saving Hardware Setup to P16PRO.INI is fixed.

Ŀ
 Version 1.2 

 P16Pro reads (and saves) now configuration word from the hex file, when
 loading the hex file. If configuration word information was not present in
 the hex file then a simple warning message is issued.
 For MPASM you can add Configurations word to your hex files with directive:
          __CONFIG "Fuses" or __FUSES "Fuses"
 where "Fuses" is desired configurations word.

 EE data for PIC16C84 are read and save from/to program hex file at
 offset 2100h. If you use MPASM you can do this:
                org 0x2100
                DE data1, data2 ....
                DE ...

 Added PIC16C62, which was missing in version 1.1.
 Bug by loading hex files for 4k byte PIC is now fixed.
 Moving in Program data window is fixed.

Ŀ
 Version 1.11 

 Added Warning by programming newer (windowed) PIC's with Code protect on.

Ŀ
 Version 1.1 

 Bug by programming configurations word for PIC16C620, PIC16C621
 and PIC16C622 is fixed.


Ŀ
 Hardware problems ? 

 If you have problems by programming (Programming Failure) and you have
 a new 486 or pentium motherboard with LTP port on motherboard, then
 you must connect an additional ceramic capacitor (330 to 470 pF)
 between ground and pin RB7 on TEXTOOL.

Ŀ
 Warning: 

 Be carefull: If you use windowed version of PIC16C620, PIC16C621, PIC16C622
 or other newer PIC's then code protecting is not recommended, because this
 may inhibit the device from being able to be reprogrammed.

Ŀ
 Info 

 PCX format can be viewed with almost every graphics program and also with
 PaintBrush, delivered with Windows 3.x.
 For printing PS files I recommend GS386 (ghost script) or other Postscript
 emulator (In case you don't have postscript printer).

 It is tru I haven't try P16PRO with PIC16C73, 74, 64, but the programming 
 algorithm is the same as with others (only program lenght and configuration
 word is different) and I think it must work with this PIC's too.
 If somebody has try P16PRO with this PIC's, please let me know if it is
 working properly. Thanks.
