My FAE told me that Microchip were planning on relaeasing a set of Windows
DLL's to interface to their range of programmers.  I was very interested, as
shelling out to PROCMD is not the most elegant method of controlling a
production programmer.  They were also allegedly releasing a standalone
programming application.  However, I've heard nothing since.  Time for a
prod maybe.
