Here, again, are the steps to program real PICs (16C84) with the 
low-cost serial programmer and the PIP-02 program: 

1) Connect the serial programmer hardware to a serial port on your PC.

2) Open a DOS-box. 

3) Run the com84.exe program and specify the serial port to use:

   COM84 COM2
   COM84 COM<x>
   COM84 REMOVE

4) Run the pip-02.exe program to read, program, and verify the PIC processor

   PIP-02

5) From within PIP-02, load the '.hex' file to load into the PIC,
   check the fuse settings, then select program, finally verify.
