Looks like gvd will work fine--thanks! It does expect gdb to be named
simply gdb, so I renamed avr-gdb to gdb and it started right up.

I do have a couple of questions on getting avarice and gdb running,
though; hope this is an okay place to ask a few beginner's questions:

(1) Which file do you feed to avarice? It didn't care for the .hex so I
gave it the .obj and it seemed happy.

(2) docs\avarice\running.txt talks about several different patches for
avr-gdb. Is there a recommended patch to start with (if one is needed
just to get started)? I started everything without a patch but the
micro isn't showing any external signs of life once I tell gdb to
"continue."

Thanks,
Wallace
