Ok: WinXP, GCB 0.96, PicKit, and a 16F15376 (Needed 2 HW Com ports, 40 pin DIP)
Chip isn't listed in either GCB or the standalone PicKit3 gui.
Fortunately, haven't actually PURCHASED said chip yet. Whew!
Am I stuck?

What do you mean it isn't listed in GCB? There's a dat file for it, so it should be good.
i just picked up a program and changed the chip to 16f15376 and it compiled without complaint.

Compiler: Great Cow BASIC compiler tool chain supports XP

XP
Programmer. PICKitPlus supports XP. You will have to check MPLAB-IPE or Northern Programmer
3
16F15376
Chip: Great Cow BASIC compiler supports this chip
So, you issue will be... how to program this chip. You old PICkit3 GUI will not work. You to upgrade to MPLAB-IPE, Northern Programmer (if supported by XP) or PICKitPlusEasy

is hoards of developers a bad thing? :)
Do these uchip boards use a boot loader like arduino?
I had to pay for mine...maybe if I said I was an OAP I'd get some sympathy :)
You don't have to go to uni to be a student but if you study the same things and don't go to uni then you are a hobbyist :(

It is NOT an UNO comparision product. The UNO developer community cannot really be compared these boards. When they introduced these products is was clear they needed to compete against the AVR competition... however... they merged with ATMEL so this product war resolved itself.
Re pay. Ask Boris Johhson. He will surely buy you one.
Re UNI .. not the case. Look up U3A and #LearningNotLonely on web. Being a student is a state of mind.
It is ok to be a student, hobbyist, collaborator, inventor etc... all are happy places.

The dev boards are not cheap as chips....literally.
You get the same plug and play feeling as arduino usb using gcb though.
As you say. no programmer needed. A good way to learn?

I have heard that uchip will give some of the pic on a usb board to people for free.. or maybe used to.
I can imagine you getting one for free but they are "expensive" otherwise.
I should try just using a 328p chip like I would a pic for the experience and then I'd have the full chips memory without the bootloader.
I don't know if icsp works the same way for avr as pic.
Seems if uchip usb dev boards have no bootloader then a usb to ttl converter connected to a 328p should work the same...or am I missing lots of stuff.
Thanks for your patience. I am in a happy place with gcb. Take care.

Wow! You folks have always been right on top of things. I meant that the version of GCB gui doesn't seem to show it in its list of chips.
If it would compile for it, the fact that the developer board acts as a USB thumb drive would be keen if it would just let me copy the hex file without a big mplab install. (?)
Thanks!

You want to use the 16F15376 .... then dont buy a chip, you dont need a programmer!
Use https://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails/PartNO/DM164143
Ready to rock and roll!!!
Is this free if you ask nicely?
These boards are like using a uno...neat.
Yes, Stan. Just like an UNO but without the Ardunio ecosystem or the hoards of developers. LOL

You can just copy the file to the chip, but, you will find in the IDE that there is a programmer for this boards.
I'm using an older version of the software and I didn't see it listed in the gui. I will check the chip list today.
I am thinking that you are using GCGB. Can you post a picture of what you are looking at?
