  Dick,

   I haven't worked with the AVR stuff but I have a book that goes into
good detail on them. It's the "Handbook of Microcontrollers" by Myke
Predko. I'll loan it to you if you need it. There are some resources on
the net that you might try, to join the List server send a message to
Atmel-request_at_pic.co.za with "JOIN" in the body. there are acouple of
related web sites at www.ipc.o.ca/people/kalle/atmel.html and
www.sistudio.com and www.dsontronics.com.
