That's a bog standard Tait style programmer that probably any parallel port
PIC program software can drive. Any of picprg2.3d (found on my programmer
page), Odyssey, or PikDev should have no problem driving the device.

IMHO I think the design is overly complicated. My Trivial HPV programmer
does the same job with a lot less parts and wiring:
