And what have you got in the way of software? You did purchase a PBP Compiler... it doesn't come free with your ICD2...

I purchased it but i wanna use mplab cd2 because it was delivered with my picdem board

no much help in here

There's lots of help here, but you need to be a tad more specific.

Are you compiling from within MPLAB or MicroCode Studio?

Do you have MPASM or PM selected as the assembler?

Which version of PBP do you have?

i looked on the web for 16F877A.BAS file

Have you looked in your PBP install directory?

Support for the 877A was added back in version 2.42. If you can't find 16F877A.BAS in your
PBP directory, then you should re-install, or contact the distributor you purchased PBP from.
They should be able to help you if there are missing device header files on your original PBP
install disc.

PBPW is not the assembler. It's the Windows version of the compiler EXE. In MPLAB, with PBP
setup as the language tool, you have the option of selecting PM or MPASMWIN as the
assembler.

But you will need to get familiar with MPLAB if you're compiling PBP programs using this IDE.

Assuming you have installed PBP correctly (as shown in your PBP manual), you have the path
setup, and PBP setup properly within MPLAB, you should not have any problems getting it to
compile in MPLAB.

What i only see in my pbp directory is the pbpw.exe file could be a problem with
the installing disc. Its a disc i get from a friend who did not need it any more
and for me it was a good to see if it was better to program in picbasic
but without that 16f877a.bas file i cant do nothing and buying again that program
without knowing it will work is to expensive, is the 16f877a.bas the only file im missing then?

Thanks very much
