Maybe I missed someone else saying this but am surprised at how
difficult all the other replies were making the task.
WinAVR comes with tar and gzip. Just open a command box, cd to your
directory, and "tar -xvzf archivename.tar.gz"
I can't imagine a Windows user being interested in avrdude and not
having already installed WinAVR. :-)

David,
By golly if that didn't work. Thanks.
I've been using WinAVR since it's come out and completely spaced on the fact
that there was a 'utilities'
directory. Being only a native Windows user and not familiar with other OS's
(sorry guys) when I read the
WinAVR manual and it refers to "Many native Win32 GNU programs and utilities
including make and bash. " in the
latest WinAVR version Manifest. I didn't make the connection that any
"Unix-like" utilities would have been
included. TkInfo doesnt' mention anything about the utilities either. It's
easy to say and I'm certainly not
being critical of Mr. Weddington's work on the WinAVR user's manual but it
would be nice to flesh out that
area of the manual for the benefit of those of us not familiar with the Unix
system and it's utilities by someone
intimately familiar with what's there and what they're for. (Like, what's
'bash'?)
Thanks for all the replies on this subject. Never thought I'd create this much
discussion.
