I think it's an impressive piece of tech.  I'm just exploring options for getting back into retro-programming.  I'm grew up as a C guys, so cc65 was my natural choice but wanted to kick the tires of PLASMA, too.

I've written some blog posts about the (limited) amount of exploration of PLASMA I've done so far.  I plan on adding a post on what you helped me with here as well, so that I have it in a good place and can share it with whoever else is interested.

You can find the first post in the series here: http://retro2neo.org/2016/04/02/working-with-plasma/

Thanks again for all your help.

Mike
