She uses Firefox to surf the web; Thunderbird for her email; Open Office to write her books; Gimp to do her artwork -- and everything just works. -- Chuck http://www.pacificsites.com/~ccrayne/charles.html

Then start over with a modern version of Linux 0.01: http://draconux.free.fr/os_dev/linux0.01.html Work in modern Linux filesystem support from FILO. FILO's filesystem code was extracted from Linux: IDE, USB, SATA, ext2, FAT, ISO 9660, Multiboot, ELF. The filesystem code is has no BIOS calls. http://www.coreboot.org/FILO Together, they'd be a compact Linux kernel. You might want to add dietlibc or RedHat's newlib. Rod Pemberton

It *does* make sense, in a way. Well, with HLA being, as you say, Alien, { I guess that is a polite way of saying that it has -way- too many hands in the High-Level "cookie-jar" } it has a need of -many- excuses. :) > > I may have mentioned that I think HLA syntax is a mistake from "begin" > to "end"... inclusive.

But when it is a programmer's "tool" you are creating, then your decisions don't affect just 'your' work -- they have reprocusions on other's work as well. Nathan.

You are usually of agreement that HLA is indeed an HLL. Nathan.

If I were to invent the perverbial "better mouse trap" and somebody offered to use and demonstrate my "better mouse trap" on a stage during 5% of a local theatrical show, then I would not be very excited about the deal. However, if they instead offered to do 5% coverage during a nationally televized show, I would be more inclined to sign the contract. In other words, 5% of today's PC market is probably equal to 70% of what the market was 10 years ago. Nathan. |
