[Elecraft] PIC Stuff

[Timothy A. Raymer]

I have a friend working on a project with a PIC 16F872.  He has written a 
program that for now just clears all the registers and a few other basic 
things.  Problem is, the program won't consistently run until after hitting 
the reset a bunch of times.  After it runs, the reset button will 
consistently start the program, but it is not happy from a cold 
boot.  Resonator comes up, but CPU is not happy.

Back when I was Microcontrollering with the Motorolla 68HC11, we had a 
program that was called BUFFALO, or bit user friendly aid to Logical 
operation.  BUFFALO was the base code that made things happy no matter what 
a naive college student did.  Is there something like this for the PIC 
series?  Where is a good place to look on the web for more information?

Thanks.
