There are two different schematics for the P16PRO: one with the
connections for an 18-pin socket, and one with the connections for
8-, 18-, 28- and 40-pin sockets. The latter one is the one that
appears to be the most common - DIY Kit #96 (There is a kit of the
18-pin version).

The GIF schematic posted to the PICALL website seems to be for the
18-pin version - which was, I beleive, the source of the initial
confusion for Gilles Auger. The PDF schematic is for the version that
handles PICs up to 40 pins - the Kit 96 version.

Huh?

The circuitry for the 8, 18, 28, and 40 pin devices is all the same.
The
difference is which pin gets which signal.

I found a 'kit' of this programmer at the local electronics shop.  As
someone else mentioned, it came with 3 sockets, and silscreen for
them.
Instead, I purchased a 40-pin ZIF socket.  To program my 18 pic PICs,
I put
the chip in the bottom of the socket, so that pin 9 of the chip is in
pin 20
of the socket.  The circuit board has traces to deliver the signals
to the
appropriate pins for different size chips.

Maybe www.picall2.com has more concrete information.  (My PCB is
mounted on
a stand so I can't see the traces.  Obviously, 40-pin PICs use the
whole
socket.  8 pin PICs put pin1 on pin3, 28 pin PICS put pin1 on pin1,
and my
18 pin PIC goes at the bottom of the socket.)
