How to program a PIC16F84 ?

1. How to assemble a PIC16F84-program :

I make use of gpasm. People who work with Debian GNU/Linux can find gpasm in the package gputils (apt-get install gputils).

2. How to write this program to a PIC16F84 :

I make use of the hard- and soft-ware that I have found at http://www.iki.fi/hyvatti/pic/picprog.html

People who work with Debian GNU/Linux can download a picprog package here .

Below I have put some pictures that show the programmer that I have build :
