Avrdude is completely open source. Cut and paste the parts that you need. > > Any idea if AVRDUDE would work with VISTA?

The issues with vista that I am aware of have to do with spawning/execing a new process. Avrdude doesn't do this so I would think that it would be immune from this. However I don't know how it would work with any of the hardware issues like parallel port or serial port. Hopefully that hasn't changed much, but y'never know.
