A follow-up question please: I am using release 5.1. Was signature 
verification added to 5.2? I have looked at the 5.1 programs and I see 
the -f option. Also there is code for no target found, I believe that is 
what you are referring to as "any signature". But, I don't see the 
actual signature verification check in 5.1 as I mentioned the last 
email. That avrdude run did not use the -f option and it did not 
complain or stop.

Thanks for all the time and effort you guys spend on this project. I 
really appreciate the program.
