What is the difference besides whether the documentation is included or
not?

Here's my analysis, correct me if I'm wrong:

PICSTART Plus - Programmer board, printed manuals, soaftware, accessories.

PICSTART Lite 16B - Same Programmer board with only an 18pin ZIF socket,
executable software on disk, RS232 cable.

PICTSTART Lite 16C - Same programmer board with only a 40 pin ZIF socket,
executable software on disk, RS232 Cable.

The PICSTART Lite 16B is only $69 compared to the $200 for the PICSTART
Plus.  Can I still program the 12c671 and 12c672 in the PICSTART Lite if
indeed it is the same board?
