I totally agree with what Jan-Eric said but the conclusion may not be the same. To be honest, EasyProg and Wisp628 are not "from the well known company XYZ". No offense here to Olin and Wouter. They are famous here and are very helpful and produce great programmers. It makes sense to develop a customized software in the corporate setup. Let us face it, who can guarantee that Olin and Wouter will continue update EasyProg/ProProg/Wisp628 5 or 10 year later? Even if the programmer comes from Microchip (Promate II/III), it may still require customization software due to special circumstances. Of course, it may require a lot of work depending on the original programming software. I would say it is a daunting task to try to port PicPrg from Olin, for example.
