AVR-Chat

Hi, i'm looking for a good AVR C guide, using winavr. I have 
programmed other micros before in C and ASM and all the guides i come 
across linger for pages on how to install the software in windows and 
don't give details on the parts i struggle with.
I do only want to use C for now.

What i need help with is the part after writing the C code. I managed 
to compile a test software that uses the LCD and after some struggling 
it works now (using avrdude to program). But it was more luck than 
anything, because i did 99% of it just how my gut feeling suggested. 
I'm sure i didn't do it the right way.


What i wonder especially is how and where does one set the fuse bits 
with that software combination?

Also, make in the console is OK and all, and normally i find such 
interfaces better, but is there a graphical UI for that sort of thing?
 ;-) (Never expected i'd ever say that... Microsoft spoiled me...)

thanks

ST
