Hello

I was looking at the www.microchip.com homepage, and as usual a big
site impossible to find anything.

I have a data*** of it, but can not programme it.

Where do I find mpasmwin.exe or similar? I could not find a download
section
Also, the picprog2.exe to download the software.

And a programming manual, which should be on the microchip site.

I want to use the ICSP (In Circuti programming), anyone have any
information about this?

If you want to do something with PICs, you'd better learn to navigate
Microchips site.

Go to the homepage.
Click on "datasheetfinder" on top of the page.
Click on "8-bit PIC Microcontrolers"
Select "PIC16F84" in the list box

Now you have all links to this PIC type documents in the right colum,
including data***, erata, programming specifications, ICSP and a lot more.

BTW. The PIC16F84 is obsolete and its successor, the PIC16F84A almost. Most
of the time the PIC16F628 is considered a good replacement. It's cheaper and
has some advanced properties. I was told Microchip to have documentation to
port PIC16F84 code to the PIC16F628. There's a disadvantage too. The
PIC16F628 and the PIC16F628A are not fully compatible, especially in the
programming algorithm.
