Ok here things are starting to get interesting. I downloaded Brian Lane's
picprog v2.3.0 and tried to configure the programmer and this time, I could not
read any voltages on the pic pins ????? really confused

So I measured the voltages on the cable using both software and
                     PikDev     picprog
D0 (data from pic)     3.36       0.21
D1 (clock)             3.36       0.21
D2 (VDD)               0.21       3.36
D3 (VPP)               0.21       3.36

I know that I should be able to read the schematic and understand what is going
on, but alas I am new to all of this (microcontrollers and electronics ...
sorry).

Thanks to everyone for their help. Very much appreciated.

Have a good weekend
Spiros
