This seems to be a bug then. Unfortunately I don't have the chance 
anymore to test all the devices I implement, since microchip doesn't 
send free samples anymore :'(
I will put a note on the website that 16F88 is not working properly and 
I'll have a good look through the code.

ok, so it seems reading is ok (as it reads ff3f) but writing doesn't work.

well, can you tell me when it hangs (maybe a screenshot)? Does it give a 
segfault? How about 0.2.0 of the software? does it also hang on the 16F84A?
Did you use the .deb package or did you build it yourself?

No, it's the Microchip C18 compiler that I use
