Ah, I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be positive or negative so I just thought I'd ask. Thanks for the compliment then :).

As far as the health of this project, along with a naken_asm side project called Java Grinder (which Joe is doing the 65xx work on also), naken_asm is my highest priority ...

The $ was working at one point, but I ended up breaking it recently. I fixed the issue and just posted a 2014-02-22 version. If you guys find any more bugs or have any requests let me (or Joe) know.

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with the original author here?
