Thanks for the replies.

So can anyone recommend a way of debugging a program on a PIC16F684?
Please use full words instead of using initialisms; for instance I
haven't got a clue what an ICE is or what it stands for.

Then you probably should not be doing embedded programming. Trey google with "ICE" and "embedded"

In-Circuit-Emulator. This is the main debugging tool for embedded work where there is no JTAG or BDM.

See

et-al

or even

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=14
06&dDocName=en534451

where Microchip have information on the various ICE (their word) they do for their own parts.

Do I necessarily have to reserve certain pins on the chip for
debugging? That would be a bad thing because I need all the pins in my
current project.

Then the only option would be an ICE.
