Dear J.L.Iehl

First, may I suggest that you start with the 16C84 as you don't need to
erase it and can program it in-system so it does not ever have to be removed
from your circuit. Very convenient!

There are many people supplying 16C84 only programmers cheaply,
donmck@tbsa.com.au is one but like myself  is in Australia.

I also sell PIC programmers and export to many countries. I  have a cheap
kit that programs ALL the current PICs (16C5x,
16C61/62*/63*/64**/65**/71/73*/74**/84 . This kit is for hobbists and
beginners but still is very good.  The software interface is exellent and
easy to use. Are you using microchips BBS on compuserve? If so I can send
you a demo.

* Requires you to wire your own 28-pin adapter socket as pin out is different.
** Requires 40-pin adaptor PCB (supplied)

E-mail to me if  I can help you.
