I know that Herbert is completely crazy, just like me and you. :)) So said, there is no doubt on his competencies, and on the fact that, if he had been able to let his deliriums aside, for a couple of hours, his feedback on these materials would have been of more weight to us than anything else, at the level of the pedagogical organization.

The real question is how easy does the material make it for an average person who is only "interested" or maybe even *uninterested* in the subject to learn it.

RosAsm main > advantage is its exceptional efficiency as a _tool_ for programming. Then why is it that most people who look at it immediately put it back down and switch to something else? The mere fact that it doesn't support statically-linked libraries is enough proof for most people that it is *not* an "exceptional effciency tool." > Regardless of asm.

That's for sure. > Its a tool for demonstration what a > superb tool asm can be in hands of the programming community. Really? How is that? I don't see too many people in the programming community using it. If it were such a superb tool as you claim, why aren't more people using it? > > RosAsm is more then the sum of its parts. Ah, "synergy"! One would hope that it's more than the sum of its parts, because the parts aren't very good. > RosAsm is a _programming_ tool, So is a hex editor.

That would describe 99.99% of the world's programming population, so Herbert isn't particularly special. > And why is > he not in favor?

I dont agree. There exists enourmous amounts of material. Since many many years. Next I would say, RosAsm is a good place to start, with a File/New/Exe template, doing a ExitProcess call. Incremental, interactive learning, is imo a good and valid, and proven way. The debugger makes the offer complete. For one who wants to code. So I think..you will have to start looking for the reason somewhere else. And as far as I have read your 1000s of posts, and the material in BU_ASM [my case], you have allready pointed out much of the real reason. And more material will not help. I am afraid that the days have passed, since long, that you could get any beginners, without some kind of advertizing. I mean, if people do not know about you, any work you did or did not do, will not show up on their radar, right? And even so, theres still the question of beliving illusions over facts. Maybe you could write a book. (no, I am serious). I be the first to read it. Even if in French. :) --

I couldn't resist playing with it... http://mysite.verizon.net/fbkotler//ezasm.html (I figured out where Verizon's been keeping my website! :) This isn't anything but a "hello world" to see if I had the tool working. (I guess so...) I'm not sure I like the interface... I think I'd rather click the "back" button than have to find the "close" button that only appears when the mouse cursor is over the "tiddler" in question. May be too "non-linear" for me - I already see signs of it's getting "out of control"... Sure is cool, though! *Very* easy to use! Won't win any prizes for smallest code... Feel free to "play" with it. You won't be able to save your changes. I *think* that can be arranged, if anyone wants to. This is only a test. Question for Betov: If/when I get around to updating my site, there *will* be a link to HLA there - that's non-negotiable. Do you want a link to RosAsm there or not? (I'll put 'en as far apart as possible) Best, Frank

Do you want a > link to RosAsm there or not? (I'll put 'en as far apart as possible) My position has always been 100% clear: If a site shows any reference to Randall Hyde or to HLA, i request that any reference to RosAsm be removed from such an anti-ethical and anti-assembly place.
