maybe, in straight postings to the list, but the development environment
that he has contributed is far beyond what I have seen from anyone else on
the Piclist. I may have missed others that do happen to be as good, and if
so would be happy to have it pointed out to me.

However myself, Jan-Erik, and Olin, possibly others as well, have all used
this environment as a way to get people into modular assembly programming,
by recommending that they look into it as a template of how to do macros,
linkable modules and scripts, and also as a straight structured system of
doing assembly language programming. I can claim a reasonable dose of kudos
for getting Olin to publish it, as he originally put up only parts of it,
and finally put up the whole lot after private promptings from me when I
found certain files were missing as I tried to work my way through it, to
get a project underway. Since then he has revised it several times to
support more processors, and allow cross assembly of modules between 16
series and 18 series architectures, with minimal changes in source code.

While I support James in his thankless task of attempting to keep a world
wide 24/7 operation on a seemly course, I do hope that time will allow Olin
to cool off, and come back at some stage. I just hope he does not take down
his development environment pages in a fit of pique.
