I am in the process of building an El Cheapo programmer as well.  The
PIC16F62x devices need to have RB4 pulled low to initialize the programming
mode.  The solution is simply a matter of connecting RB4 to ground when
programming 16F62x's.  I use IC-PROG for software.

Good luck.

I have been attempting to use the el cheapo programmer on a 16f627 with no
success at all.  Does anyne have a circuit for reliable programming and a
straight forward program for it.
