futurlec 16F877 and MicroCode Studio Plus's ICD feature

Has anyone sucessfully interfaced PBP/Microcode Studio Plus's ICD to
futurlec's CP-877? I have to figure out how to load a bootloader
(Through the parallel port I presume?) then load the program and run
the ICD (Through the serial port I presume?) I ordered the serial cable
from them after the first order so I haven't tried it yet. From all the
reading I've done I take it the bootloader has to be HVP then the ICD
LVP? Win800 won't do anything outside of give me address error messages
when I try anything but LVP. Yes I'm new at this but am stubborn.
Thanks for your time!  P.S. This is a great board packed with features
that costs far less than the time it would take me to make one. I hope
I can get it to run the project.
