You mean I have to erase? I forgot.

I'm thinking maybe -w should erase by default and that
another option (-W?) writes without erase. Thoughts?
I can save this idea for the ultimate larflash tool though.

Yep, that works.

Thanks, I was running with generic_, then I changed the code but
never rebuilt, read up on the thread and then forgot I had changed
the code before the svn diff.

Revised patch attached. Not the best performance, but it works.
