Hi Howard,

My program always sets the fuses (as I'm sure almost all other programs
do), if you don't actually alter them yourself my software uses internal
default values. The fuses basically set the type of oscillator to be
used , the 'power up timer', code protection bits, and probably a few
more - I've just got back from the pub and the brains a bit poor:-).
