There isn't a way to specify the fuse bit settings of the Atmel AVR

"Fuses" menu.

I wrote a small Java program to maintain batchfiles for the command
line version of the programmer. I just select the correct batchfile and
then programm lots of processors :-).

Same here. Well, almost -- I did it up with Perl. Handles the program &
fuse setting and verification, squawks to the user if there's a problem
with communication or either verification pass. Saves me from those
embarrassing lapses of memory when shifting from programming the duty
lab bench processor to the tube of new ones for production. Not that
*I've* ever forgotten to switch from the internal clock to the external
crystal, I've ahhh just heard about it, yeah, that's it ... ;-)
