There is something i dont get, on this page, they say the pickit2 programs 8/14/20 pins and a guy on a forum said that he succesfully programmed the 16f628a,wich is 18 pins ???
The PICKit2 is an ICSP, it can program any size of PIC, size makes no difference.
The early software versions of the PICKit2 only programed a very limited selection, but software updates now make it an excellent programmer that covers a large range.

EDIT:
Never mind for the pickit2, i would need a 2nd programmer to make it work.
How do i get an .asm file to send in mpasm? i need mplab sim?
It's just a text file, Notepad is all you need - and is what I used for many years.
Does anyone knows about the pic programming thing,some people just build a very simple circuit to program one type exclusively of pic ( ex: 16f628a) but where can we get information of where to connect the pic pins? assuming that i use serial port of printer an ic-prog/winpic800 . On ic-prog website they claim there freeware can program almost all the pics, but they dont give a programmer for all.
Check out the various programmers on my website, all are parallel port programmers, I don't consider (so called) serial port ones to be reliable enough to support.
