It should work fine but that page states "I finally found a very nice universal window based software designed to work with any serial programmers for PIC16F84, i.e., WPicProg16 V1.20, written by Nigel Goodwin." As far as I am aware, Nigel's software is parallel only. I'm sure he'll be along shortly to clarify things.

Yes, parallel only - I don't consider 'serial' port programmers (JDM type) reliable enough to offer support for.
