Well, I have about decided, after doing the tests you suggested and 
reading the stuff on ICSP with the EasyProg that there is just a basic 
incompatibility between the demo board  and  the EasyProg.  
Specifically, I  think that it is because the demo board requires its 
own power supply, and of course the EasyProg won't go along with that, 
although the ICD2 will.

OK -- no big problem.  I've got a 28-pin ZIF socket around here 
somewhere, and will make up something on a piece of perf board and just 
run the RJ12 cable from the EasyProg to that instead of trying to use  
the demo board (for the purpose of using the EasyProg to program a 3013 
chip, I mean).

Just running the 5 lines from the RJ12 cable to the appropriate pins on 
the 3013 would work without anything further needed, wouldn't it?  
(MCLR, Vdd, Vss, PGC and PGD).  Not really ICSP, I suppose, but just 
more of an auxiliary ZIF socket to the one that comes with the 
EasyProg.  (I'm not ignoring your suggestion of a couple of 47 pf 
capacitors -- I'll stick those on the perf board).
