found MPASM. Doesn't seem to support the 16F628, as not listed in the readme file.

You can't download it seperately - as least not a version that's modern enough to be of any use.

As you have one machine which runs it OK, try copying the directory which holds MPASM other to the Win95 machine - it includes both DOS and Windows versions of MPASM, and (hopefully) won't require any DLL's installed elsewhere - worth a try anyway, although you could always use the DOS version.

Mpasmwin.exe. Found it in the MPLAB directory on the other pc. Will, copy it to the other pc with the programmer attached. Never used MPASM before, is its main function to assemble .asm's, into .hex's, so another programming software can open it, to, burn the chip. I'm assuming this is the main function.

Thanks again

Yes, it's the MicroChip assembler, presumably it's what MPLAB calls to assemble it's code?.

You need to copy many of the other files from the same directory as well, particularly the include files - you may as well copy the lot!.

RightO. Thanks for your continuing support.

Ordered development board. Will order psu, chips, and discretes for the circuit this weekend. Hopefully, week, my fingers will be hot. Ding dang doo. can't wait.
