Go take a loog at my Trivial LVP programmer: http://www.finitesite.com/d3jsys One IC, one resistor, and hardware. It can be programmed with any Tait style programming software. I use Linux, but DOS/windows software should work as long as it has configurable pins. Nigel Goodwin's picprog877 looks like a good possibility. I haven't tested it though.
