I don't think it is feasible (realistic) to be automated because of the 
large variety of options. The problem is with the 18Fs.
Say you want for all 18Fs to have the bits set for internal oscillator 
at 4 MHz frequency. There are several types of oscillators even multiple 
internal oscillators, different default speeds, several PLL options, 
several CPU frequency dividers, and maybe more. I have not investigated 
this in details (otherwise I wouldn't have a problem anymore!), but I 
wouldn't be surprised if for the about 200 18Fs there are 50 different 
combinations. It might be faster to read the datasets then find a method 
that covers all combinations.   And it is also a one-off excercise: once 
done (and documented) it is only needed for new PICS. I think you can 
spend your time better.

Regards, Rob.
