noob, blinker and inchworm bootloader

[dumfart]

hello, i'm using DL4YHF's PIC Programmer for Windows and FENG3's MultiPIC programmer and i have two questions:

1) i have loaded the blinker program from...

and burned it onto a 16f628A and LED lights but doesnt blink, scratching head here.

2) do I have to set config bits under the device,config tab of Winpic before burning the inchworm's bootloader? (I guess this is also what I did wrong in #1, altho there are only two INTOSC modes and 'no clock out mode')

The Inchworm is a programmer and uses a 16F877-20 or 16F877A PIC.
Are you referring to the Inchworm Hello World poster (I've got to rename that)?
A good programmer should be able to read the configuration info from the .hex file, the fuse or config info is set by the __CONFIG directive. The 16F628A assuming your programmer supports it properly has several clock options and for a simple program like my hello world one the internal OSC is used and WDT is on.

Not exactly, i'm using blinker app here...

...and burning onto a 628A not the 628.

Ahh, under 'device, config' tab it does changes (i never tried to be on that tab while loading a hex file so i couldn't see it change. But why does the homepage http://files.winpicprog.co.uk say

Code Protection: OFF
WatchDog Timer: OFF
Power-up Timer: ON
>>>>Brown-out Detect: OFF <<<<<
>>>>Oscilator: Internal, no clock-out mode <<<<<
External MCLR: ON
>>>>Low Voltage programming: OFF <<<<<

while Winpic (anything in between >< ) is the opposite, especially this...
INTOSC: CLKOUT on RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT, I/O ON RA7/OSC1/CLKIN
Which must be affecting the blinker causing it not to blink?

You can't burn a 628 HEX file into a 628A, the fuse settings are different, you need to either reassemble the source for a 628A, or manually set the fuses after loading the file.

ok i will try that. Its strange tho that it burned without errors (altho it didnt work). I tried burning the inchworm bootloader onto a 877-20/P and Winpic programming failed. Another app also failed to burn inspite of it being designed for 628A. I have two of these multipic programmers and they do the same thing so there must be something wrong somewhere.
