the pbp 2.6 inc file for an 18f1220 looks like this

i'm guessing your config should look like this , you need to check the config word for each setting
I you version is older then , I can't help much more

asm
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG1H, _XT_OSC_1H
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
        __CONFIG    _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L
endasm

Hi Richard, my P18F1220.inc does not look anything like that.
I tried your config suggestion with slight mod ( see below) but it still does not work. I also tried with a copy of the .inc from MPLABX - also does not work.

Hi, I have now installed MPLABX , PBP3 and MCSX. Now I get [ASM ERROR] 18F1220 NOVA BX.ASM (30) : Symbol not previously defined (_INTIO2_OSC_1H) .
I've tried a lot of permutations and found that some config statements don't give an error and others give a similar error ( or errors ) as above.
Any ideas?

in your pbp 3 directory you should have a folder called DEVICE_REFERENCE
have a look in there for a pic18f1220.info file , all the possible config are listed there
IN A FORMAT like this

#CONFIG
CONFIG WDTEN = OFF
CONFIG PWRTEN = ON
CONFIG BOREN = OFF

CONFIG DEBUG = OFF
CONFIG XINST = OFF
#ENDCONFIG

Hi Richard , thank you for your patience.
I tried all the changes you suggested but could not get it to work. I reverted back to PBP 2.6 and downloaded
MPLAB 8.9 which contains MPASM v5.5. I now get a bit further with seven lines of errors
similar to "overwriting previous address contents (0000)" .

Hi Richard , It's blinking now. I changed the config settings in the .inc file that exists in the
PBP 2.6 folder and I have no config statements in my source program.
Thank you very much for guiding me on this problem. Your help has given me confidence to continue migrating to 18F.
