That just means MPLAB knowns about the HiTech command line options etc.  Olin is saying that the HiTech assembler and linker are not compatible with the HiTech tools, i.e. you cannot use MPLINK to link some MPASM and HiTech object files.  The HiTech assembler syntax is also somewhat different to the MPASM syntax.
