I believe there's a report of it working with pkp (that's the console app for
pikdev right?)

You won't let any smoke out I don't think. I find that you really need
to doublecheck the settings to make sure they are attached to the correct pins
and that the polarity is correct.

Drop me a line here or in my forum if you have any problems. I believe I have
an alpha version of picprog that works with the 16F88 too if you have any issues
with pkp.

Finally when you do get it working can you post a report to the forum? Thanks.
