You might be able to figure it out, however, by paying a visit to the Microchip
 web site.  They have programming instructions for all of the PIC chips there,
 and datasheets on each variety of chip will allow you to map the pinouts from
 the DIPs to the corresponding PLCCs.

Worth a shot, in any case....
