I sucessfully compiled and burned a sample pic12F629 assembly program
using an older version of MPLAB (5.20.00). However, the MPLAB
simulator doesn't support the 629, and the GPIO pin changes cannot be
monitored while stepping the program.

Most of the other stuff works using various processors on the
simulator menu, variables change and so forth, but the ultimate output
on the five GPIO pins never changes, so I can't see what is really
happening.

Is there some way of using the existing simulator of MPLAB 5.2 to
step a 629 program and monitor the GPIO pins?

Or, do I need to upgrade to a later version of MPLAB?

FAIK the current version of MPLAB is 8.10 which supports 12Fxxx and 10Fxxx
PICs amongst many ohers. You 'd better upgrade. It's still free.

Yes, it's free but difficult to download with a dial-up connection. I
tried today and got 60% of the 89M file in a few hours before my ISP
disconnected. I tried to reconnect and continue, but the process
started over from scratch, and I lost the first 4 hours of data.

I suppose I can try again and run it all night, maybe I'll get it in a
week or so, maybe not.

You need some sort of download manager. I haven't had to deal with
this kind of problem in ages though.
Maybe Firefox has this built in?
Also you might check bittorrent for this file. It'll keep the download
going for you and resume.

Repeating myself, FTP is more than sufficient to the task. It
recovers gracefully from line disconnects and user suspends. (picks up
where it left off)
Bittorrent is actually a bit different approach, with the reliability
as an add on to an inherently flaky (for large file transfer) http
protocol.
