	Thank you. This is a great help because I suspect I am
more likely to get gpasm and gpsim working than I am to get
mplab-x working.

	I do not presently have a working X environment in Linux
although one system I have should run it but refuses to so far.

	gputils and gpsim appear to be in the same linage as
what I originally had on here so this should get me back to
where I was before more than likely.

	As for the parts, nothing really exotic-- PIC16F84's,
16F628's and several really old PIC's that are UV-erasable.
I might as well use them in simple projects as they don't spoil.
I think the PicStart plus will program every PIC I presently
have in the parts cabinet so all that is needed is working
software to drive the programmer.

	Again, thanks.
