What happened to Kye's RS232 Communications Engine? I can't find it anymore.

Somewhere, somehow, some weeks ago I downloaded a copy of Kye's "RS232 Communications Engine" and today I was hoping to run a test with it to echo some data from a Propeller through a Max3232 chip, the same kind of chip used on the Propeller Professional Dev Board for RS232 communications. But now I can't find Kye's code anywhere on the OBEX. Not even Google seems to be able to find it. So now I'm wondering: where did it go? Did it get yanked for having problems? Is it buried in some other OBEX file?
I have a few questions about how to use it, so I would like to link to it.
Here's the header from the copy I have:

I did a search in the OBEX with the keyword "serial" and then search for "kwab" like kwabena and came up with this

Yes! That's it! Stefan, thanks for finding this. It never occurred to me to search for "serial." I'm clueless about RS-232 so I didn't know what else it might be called. I was worried it had been retracted because of a problem or something, so it's a relief to see it still exists.
thank you!
eek! I didn't see that. I guess I'll have to look at using one of the other serial drivers.
thanks for pointing that out to me!
LOL. Now that is a very good question.
And the answer is:

Well, Bruce, I took your advice. But for some reason things don't seem any different to me.
However, I heard Kye fixed his RS232 software mentioned earlier, so I'm excited about trying it out, glasses or no.
That is a completely new look for you
Yea, I see he fixed two drivers. He has been busy.
