In most cases, it's not the programmer hardware that makes or breaks it for a specific PIC, it's the firmware/software that's driving it.

icprog has seems like it should be able to handle it. it does com up with some other options when the 16f88 is selected which i'm not sure of, eg write enable, ccpmx?? i may try winpic

absolutely fluked it!!! winpic set as tait 7407 + pnp didnt work so played around abit and hit the "raise Vdd before MCLR = Vpp " ????? Bingo. think I may give myself a beer or 10 for that. it was the software letting her down like you said. she still got a few years left in her!!
