FWIW, A friend of mine and I will be writing our own programming code for the
YAPP serial port programmer.  Our target platform is OS/2, but we will be
making the source code as platform neutral as possible.  If anyone else is
interested we would be happy to share the source code when it is done.
I will post here to let everyone know if and when it becomes available.

I have chosen the YAPP because of the true RS232 serial port interface.  This
makes it much more of a portable device between operating systems.  Yes, I know
it is much slower to program a device over a 9600 baud RS232 port, but OTOH, I
won't have to write a device driver for OS/2 ;-)
