I must be from Missouri because I still do not see why it will not work. When I write in pure ASM, I include the __Config in my ASM file and MPLAB takes care of my fuses. When I write in PBP, I edit the inc. file for my fuse choice and the fuses are set by MPLAB.

I have not used PM or the EPIC for years but doesn't one, when using PBP with these two, edit the .inc file for the proper device settings and then the fuse settings are automatically set when programming?

I have PBC somewhere and an old EPIC somewhere – maybe I need to see it not work to believe it. (I hope I can find them).
