Yes, one wants to use the programmer you've got and has proven working,
and to not have to get and learn a new one.
I had a 'DOS based' one, and DOSEmu has problems driving the
parallel port, which I never managed to over come.
The hastle wasted on 'researching' DOSEmu threw my PIC project
off momentum. The need to copy the data to a DOS-box via fd0
really put a break on the edit-codeGen-test cycle.
