If you don't want to solder your 7-segment LEDs to prototyping boards, use headers.
I use sockets for my ICs, but I don't have a format that can support 7-segment LEDs. I don't even know if they exist.
EDIT: I have 7-segment LEDs in multiple formats: single, 2-bit, 3-bit and even 4-bit, in varying sizes and colours: .28", .36" and .56". They have varying pinout styles.

EDIT SOME MORE: Well, what do you know, the .28" LEDs fit nicely in 14 pin sockets. Too bad I don't have 12 pin sockets, I'd have less driling to do.
Re: SOLVED - PIC seems to RESET unless I add a PAUSE in Mainloop
Because if the WDTE bits in CONFIG3 is anything but 0b01 the SEN bit is ignored and the CONFIG block of the code contains _WDT_ON which, according to the .INFO file for the device means
