I have been doing full time programming for the last few months after a number of years of mostly supervision. It is sometimes frustrating because I know what I want to do but can't always do it as fast or as efficiently as I used to. About a month or two ago I had need to run an external program with some complications and found the APIrun class that he had donated to the archives. It worked perfectly! Last night, about 2:30am I had need to copy several hundred files within a program and I found his advise on the use of SHFileOperation and the full code to implement it right in the text of an answer to someones question. I was able to get a couple hours sleep thanks to Ed :-)

Many people are critical of his terse manor but I just thought he deserved a big THANK YOU for all that he contributes. If anyone has any doubts, they should look at the list of contributions under his ID in the downloads and articles here on the UT.
