There are far better and easy to build PIC programmers that work!
My Inchworm design uses MPLAB which is free and it's ICD2 compatible (you get a debugger too)
i think we are only talking abou icprog and the software that came with propic 2, has anyone tried picpgm from **broken link removed** it is a software that supports virtually all the flash pic microcontrollers and i guess anyone can try it with their already built propic 2 gold, i want to know how it faired, it is what i intend to use after building my pro pic 2 gold programmer.
