The Options I like to have set to ensure that everything works correct-
ly are Program/Verify Code, Program/Verify Configuration, Program/
Verify Data, Reread File Before Programming, Erase Before
Programming, and Verify After Programming. Even though it is not
necessary to erase the 16F876 before programming, I like to ensure
that it is because I have had the odd problem when I don’t erase it.
Figure 7.4 shows the Options menu.
