Not me, dude. I've been harassing ARP since the beginning.

(a) It's all in assembler. That's a big no-no for me.
(b) They never got it all together. It was missing major programs (like copy)
    and the programs that did come out tended to have weird bugs (um, non
    standard features if you like).

I'm sure (b) was due to (a).
