The download link needs to be updated. There have been a few revisions since version 1.0.1 and yet the download for Binary/Executable (.zip) is still v1.0.1

Unattended scripts (batch files, nUnit, Nant, etc.) are broken by prompt for y/n input if FET firmware update offered. FET firmware version often does not matter, especially for older, stable parts, or minor firmware bugfixes. Unless someone else has a solution, I would like to add a switch to suppress the FET version check. Unless someone else wants some letter reserved, I would find something mnemonic from the unused command-line switch letters "acjksty".

I've edited an option: case 's': // Suppress FET firmware update prompt ... to support unattended scripts better; where can I post or submit this edit? (And should this discussion itself be posted elsewhere?)

Is it possible to erase only the info memory using MSP430Flasher? I can write to the Info memory using MSP430Flasher, but if I try to erase and re-write the info memory, I get a verification error.

A useful feature would be the ability to display the version of the program. I have a copy that came in a download, and I have no way to tell if it's older or newer than what's on the wiki now.

I've got minor printing request: I've created a Java tool that calls the tool as if it were the command prompt, but because the out streams aren't flushed, nothing appears until the program is done. I think fixed the problem by calling fflush after every fprintf/printf but I only have VS 2008, so I can't open the project to figure out how to rebuild it properly. Any chance there's an achieve copy somewhere I can work from?

Is there anything that needs to be differently when programming a custom BSL other than the -b option? I am trying this but keep getting the following error:

Does the command line programmer have the ability to write a hex serial number into a specific memory address?
