There are tonnes of freebie PIC programmer packages out there for the PC.
Many of these have a help file with them which provides a simple schematic
diagram showing how to construct the programmer hardware. You could do a
search on these. I don't know the url offhand but there's a site somewhere
that has a whole load of shareware PIC programmers.

Tom G might be able to help you here. He uses my MIDI/CV firmware for his
Bassace and RX/CV designs. He programs the PICs himself and I believe he's
using a programmer based on a design taken off the net.

You could probably build a programmer straight from what you've got in your
junkbox.
