www.microchip.com has all the programming specifications for the various PICs in various PDFs. And yes, there is a difference between the programming methods used from the 16f628 (old school) and the 16f88 (newer-ish school). Just because a programmer supports the 16f628/16f84 (old school), doesn't mean it supports the 16f88 (much newer in comparison).
From the date on those pictures, it looks like 2001. I'm fairly sure that the 16F88 came out after much later.
