Using the EPIC DOS version
If using Windows 95 or higher, you could either open an MS-DOS
prompt window or restart the computer in the DOS mode. Win-
dows 3.XX users should end the Windows session.
Assume we are still in the same DOS session and we have just run
the pbc compiler on the wink.bas program. Copy the wink.hex file
into the EPIC subdirectory. At the DOS prompt, type “EPIC” and hit
Enter to run the DOS version of the EPIC software (see Fig. 6.11).
EPIC’s opening screen is shown in Fig. 6.12. Use the mouse to click
on the Open button or press Alt-O on your keyboard. Select the
wink.hex file (see Fig. 6.13). When the hex file loads, you will see
a list of numbers in the window on the left (see Fig. 6.14). This is
the machine code of your program. On the right-hand side of the
screen are configuration switches that we need to check before we
program the PIC chip.
Let’s go through the configuration switches one by one.
Device: Sets the device type. Set it for 8X.
ROM size (K): Sets memory size. Choose 1.
OSC: Sets oscillator type. Choose XT for crystal.

Watchdog timer: Choose On.
