Dumitre,

I'm affraid you've asked a wrong question. First you'll not be able to
use "all 16F and 18F pics". So I suggest to define exactly which one
(or more) you'll use and then to choose a free programmer already
available on the web.
The best free software programmer is without doubt ICPROG,
www.ic-prog.com, which works OK with many hardware. However not all
pics are supported by icprog.
The second choose will be the port interface for the PC, if you have a
poor 3Ghz laptop then you'll have only USB and free USB pic programmer
combination (hardware and software) are quite hard to found.
so, choose then...
:)


best regards,
Vasile
