PonyProg v2.06 versus PIC micro

ponyprog pic16f628

Hi fellows!
Who had tried the latest PonyProg v2.06 software version to burn PIC micros 16F628 series?
Can you post any comments? Does it works with those PICs?
What programmer works better with these chips?

Well ICProg PIC is my preference, I use PonyProg for AVR and 8252.

i use WinPicProg and it works great with the 16F628

ponyprog para 16f628a

Another question is if there is any difference between programming PIC16F628 & PIC16F628A series? Are the second ones supported by the same tools or not?

ponyprog v2.2

Hardware is apparently the same but software should support it too, otherwise it can’t be programmed.

Hope this helps

ponyprog 8252

Thanks. & what does it mean "a low voltage programming capable" for those 16F628 chips? Does it mean that I don't need to provide the 12 V pro voltage to the chip to burn it any more? So can I use the same hardware as for the 16F84 chips, but simply the 12 v sourse not connected when programming?
