PIKLAB-PROG - Commandline program for PIC-microcontroller programming.
SYNOPSIS
       piklab-prog [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the piklab-prog command.

       Piklab-prog is a command line tool, which can be used to program
       microcontrollers with program and data, stored in a HEX-file to a
       connected programmer. It supports the most common serial, parallel and
       usb programmers, like  ICD2, Pickit2, PicStart+) and debuggers (ICD2).
