Sorry to be a right pain in people's butts,
I had many problems when i first started working with PIC's and you kind people helped me tremendously thanks
However now I've done all the code and got everything working, I've realised I'm using way too big of a PIC 16F877A with too much wastage on it

What I need to know is :
Whats the best pic that will do the following:
compatible with a DS18B20 for temperature measurement
4 input pins (simple high or low inputs)
4 output pins (simple high or low outputs through transistor switch to operate relay)
6 Pins for an LCD (4 bit mode)
gonna be working with an 8Mhz resonator because no crucial timings involved.
NO critical measurments being made, just switching outputs depending on input selections
Will be be programmed with an ICD2

If anyone has any ideas on what PIC would be best to use so hardly any pins are wasted (as small a pic as possible) could they let me know please
Also and this is a very big hope in my part
Does anyone know the defines to use with PBP and ICD2 for whatever PIC chip they are suggesting?

It's not important I can always just use the 16F877A I've got working, but this way not only do I make the chip smaller and less wastage, but I learn the differences between programming the two

OH and also what would be exreeeeemely hand would be the config needed to set the ports to straight inputs and or outputs, I can never work that one out

Always hopeful
Karen
