These tiny PIC-ers sure keep me busy .....
 (going fishing instead sure is an attractive alternative ...)

Where do I go from here ?
-- learn the big MPLAB environment
-- continue to use only MPASMwin.
-- trying to follow/learn Olin's system (is Olin's an expanded MPLAB 
system?)

I am a hardware-oriented hobby-builder.
I am familiar and comfortable with MPASM (my homebrew PIC-programmer is 
working great).

Should I take the plunge and learn all the MPLAB stuff or just mind my 
own MPASM business?
 (expanding to a bigger development-setup seems to require an awful lot 
of time)

I just came across this (it triggered the question) :
 I am not yet familiar with the Linker so the Object part is lost on me.

   Assembly Code Templates (Object)              file: Object.zip   (for 
use LINKER afaict)
   Assembly Code Templates (Absolute)           file: Code.zip     (for 
use with MPASM)

 >>>>>>>>>>>>> Inside Object.zip :   (f628tmpo.asm)
;   This file is a basic code template for object module code         *
;   generation on the PICmicro PIC16F628. This file contains the      *
;   basic code building blocks to build upon.  As a project minimum   *
;   the 16F628.lkr file will also be required for this file to        *
;   correctly build. The .lkr files are located in the MPLAB          *
;   directory.                                                        *

;   If interrupts are not used all code presented between the         *
;   code section "INT_VECTOR and code section "MAIN" can be removed.  *
