.SH PIKLAB-PROG \- Commandline program for PIC-microcontroller programming.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B piklab-prog [TQt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [file]
.RI

.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B piklab-prog command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
\fBPiklab-prog\fP 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).
