DOS ain't dead

I don't think working with Wikipedia is worth the effort and trouble it always brings up. Anyone seriously interested in some specific field (at least, our field and much other IT stuff) will find better sources elsewhere. Therefore, I usually only correct minor mistakes there now, mostly in articles not related to my specific interests.

This is perhaps a misunderstanding. The Wikipedia JWasm page was Steve Hutchesson's project. I was rather sceptical about its outcome and, if someone would have forced me to vote, my vote probably would have been "delete" as well.

What might have saved the page is a cool JWasm logo, but unfortunately noone was able to provide a really good and free picture of a Black-capped Chickadee. The best effort was this, from DednDave in the Masm32 forum, but I noticed it too late, it still needs a lot of work and the photo almost certainly isn't free:

MS-DOS forever!

I have not used JWASM, but I might someday convert my UIDE and other drivers
to it. Johnson Lam says others regard it as VERY good, I use and recommend
JEMM386/JEMMEX, and if I ever need an assembler to replace my "ancient" V5.1
MASM, JWASM is the first I shall try. Japheth's software WORKS!

Sad, to me, that one well-meant "stub" article on Wikipedia re: JWASM caused
a HUGE "Articles for Deletion" page, much of which presents itself as BABBLE
by a pack of "Donkey Rear-Ends" who likely know NOTHING about assembly code!

Since I always DETESTED engineering, and now editorializing, "by committee",
I have only this to say: Let NOBODY put ANYTHING on Wikipedia about UIDE or
any of my other drivers!! Wikipedia has just LOST a lot of my respect, and
I do NOT want my work associated with any of their "P...ing Contests"!!
