before i go and spend my pennys on some 16f682a's i need to ask a question
what is the "a"?
i am using the proton ide demo that will only alow me to use the 16f628a, the programmer i have availble will only program a 16f628 not the "a" version
will it work if i select 16f628 on the programmer but actually program a 16f628a?
or will usuing a 16f628 PIC be the better option even though its compiled for the 16F628a?
the problem i have is i need to use the "PulsOut" command in basic but the only software i can find that supports this is Proton IDE, but its a demo and will only let me use the 16f628a
anyone know of any other software i can use or an anlternative for "PulsOut"
You should check the MicroChip documention, they usually have a 'migration document' telling you of any changes required.

You can write your basic code and compile it in protonIDE useing
the 628a, and then program a 628 chip with the compiled code.
If your programmer does not suport the "a" chips, you will get a verify
error,(someone correct me if i am wrong).
what programmer are you useing?
Nigel's programmer is a superb bit of kit, grovel.
