Oh fudge. Damn. His rzsz software that I last built at version 3.3.6, but made some serious speedups in, for the os9/nitros9 operating system, has been part of my stable of code for nearly 25 years now. Chuck wrote good code 98% of the time. Well organized, methodical, it was actually easy to improve it, gaining around 200 cps of overall speed with my hacks, on a 1.78 Mhz motorola 6809 cpu. Taking advantage of the Hitachi 63c09 in place of the motorola chip, the speedup was closer to 325 cps. He will be missed. I hope his ride here was a pleasant one.
