I have been gradually building a program for a PIC16F877 and debuging it as I went. All of a sudden I am getting an error that it cannot fit in absolute section Start0x00 Length 0x00004A4
Looks like I need to break it up and make it relocatable but all the docs are very confusing. Is there a simple explanation for how to do it? David Benson's books just barely hint at the subject.

You may need to include a linker file, which you can find in the IDE directories. You can also look at that linker file to determine whats up. However, you should notice that if you put the program into the vectors section, it's only 5 words long. Try
PROG1 code
before your code... that may make it happier. You also have to create a vectors section. Thus, do
STARTUP code goto startcode nop nop nop goto interruptcode
as well. If you don't have any interrupt code, just replace the last thing with a nop.
