Oops, my bad.

Still, quite interesting that he worked on DOS 2.0-4.0, OS/2, compression (DoubleSpace?, NTFS), and even wrote the code for the hourglass "busy" icon thingy. Apparently, he's really good at writing tight, fast, small assembly code. Now that he's retired ... well, I know it's a pipe dream, but maybe he'll help FreeDOS.
