Thanks

I had a quick look at the Software. 16F84 & 88 not listed. Poor translation
to English a bit of a worry

I was after advice on ones people have actually used & can recommend on that
basis, not only because they have a vested interest in the product.

I just built me one of the JDM in-circuit programmers. The info is here:
http://olimex.com/dev/pdf/pic-pg1a.pdf
and here:

I managed to stuff all the bits into a DB9 plug
and I use this sucker to program the chip:

On your board, you have a 5 pin header that the programmer plugs into with
lines to Gnd, Vdd, MCLR and RB6 & RB7. It means you can upload new code
without having to wrangle the chip out of the circuit.
I've only tried it on a 16F84A chip so far, but it seems to work OK.

I dont know whether the microchip programmer (picstart+) will fit your
budget (i dont know what it costs) but it can upgrade itself to handle
new devices as they become available. I think microchip now have a
cheap USB programmer too.

That Olimex bunch I mentioned earlier do this USB programmer that works from
MPLAB
