That makes more than one of us, especially when it is one of Russells 'deep
dives' that can use up a lot of reading time. I started reading it in
either 1999 or 2000.

I can also claim to be the person that caused Olin Lathrop to publish his
development environment in full. Originally he had published snippets to
the Piclist (and possibly elsewhere), but when I tried to use the examples
he had posted it was obvious there were significant chunks missing When I
came back with queries he put the whole lot up for download on his business
website. I see it is still getting updated, although now on Github.
https://github.com/OlinLathrop?tab=overview&from=2025-12-01&to=2025-12-31

I have a whole heap of "useful" documents and links squirrelled away from
items posted to the PIClist, and would like to thank all those who have
contributed, moderated, and generally kept the list on track and useful.
Unfortunately I can see the PIClist slowly dying as old hands retire and
young blood entering the embedded world go with templates and high level
languages, not understanding the underlying hardware.
