This is the first time I am using a PIC MCU and i have no idea how to program it.. i have the source code for the circuit... do i need to convert it to hex code or something before using MPLAB????

What is it that you are trying to make? A little more details would help us in helping you better.

And yes, you must generate the hex code before you can flash your micro with it, whether you use PIC or any other micro for that matter. For PIC, MPLAB will help you do that.

Hi,
If you have the Assenbmby code you can use it directly with MPLAB. Make a project then compile the code and simulate it. After the compilation MPLAB will generate for you the Hex file to be loaded into the mirocontroller.

Yes you can.
Remember to include the p16f873a.inc file to the project. Also the file that defines the function and the variable (DIVIDENDHI,....) used.
