    I remember seeing special tips and tools for desoldering 16-18 pin DIPS
a few years back.  The tip is basically shaped like an IC socket with slots
for the pins.  One uses the tip to heat all pins simultaneously and then
remove the IC from the board using a spring clip on the other side.

    I haven't been able to find these tools recently.  Does anyone know a
source for these?
