Yes, I've used avrdude on the same PC happily to program the at90s2313 
before. I am using Win2k but I have givoio all set up and working and 
I've verified that it is operating. I do realise each programmer needs 
its own ID,  Like I said I first tried a separate entry, when that 
didn't work I tried modifying a "known good" entry. That is why I had 
played around with the entries for the "futurlec" programmer. I had 
tried it previously as a separate entry.

I agree, it looks like "CONT" doesn't require avrdude to use it.

I will try Joerg's suggestion and post the -vvvv output.
