16F628 programming help

I am trying to program a 16F628 for a 3 digit thermometer from the following web site,

formatting link
The hex file that the author provides on this site will not load into my chip programmer without a Error reading HEX file message. I would e-mail the author of the project but there is no information about who he is on the site. There is no contact info for SIXCA.com anywhere on the site. I am not a programmer so I have no idea how to check the program for errors. Does anyone know of a contact for SIXCA.com or maybe have an idea how to fix the code.

Thanks

Does the format of the HEX-file corresponds to the format your programmer wants to see? What programmer are you using anyway? Does that programmer understand the last line of the file (;PIC16F628) to be comment? Simply check by removing it. As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with the HEX-file.

You are correct... I removed the ;PIC16F628 from the HEX file and it loaded fine.

Thanks

You were correct about the last line of the hex file. By removing that line my programmer accepted to file. Now if I could just get the darn thing to work in the circuit....
