No luck with 'quartus_pgm -c usb-blaster -m JTAG -erase_all', gives an error

When a JTAG Indirect Configuration (.jic) file is assigned to the flash device in the Quartus II programmer, only the region of the flash that contains data in the .jic file is erased.

Presume when using say Method 1 or 2 and specifying the .jic file, the -erase_all option overrides and erases the full flash device?

Thanks

Bill
