You can programming PIC16C71 with PIP-02  and with seriall programmer, but
RS232 port can't give enough current and voltage to programm EEPROM PICs.

You must add to that project external power supply : 13V / 10-20 mA with
electronicall ON/OFF  switch. If RS232- Tx is high, then switch must be ON.
That voltage have to be connected to PICs MCLR pin.

My question: did somebody see newest  PIP-02 software which can programming
latest PICs (16C505, 16F87.. etc)?
