Forgive me if I am wrong Wolfgang, but if this is not beeing involved in
politics, then what is ? If you are excluding people from using your OS,
because of politics, isnt that some sort of politics ??

My target are not strictly anything I am afraid. I dont like the word strict
at all except in actuall code. And not even then allways. Speed and size
optimizations sure. Dont see how I fit the profile. I have no hardware
design skill except I once knew how to create a simple cpu using nand gates,
which I have since long forgotten. I only read the mathematics needed to
implement my next function. I only find any interesst for mathematics when
it solve a problem in my way. No, when I sleep I dont see hex numbers,
sorry, but pages of pages of object pascal code. I program in my sleep. I
actually have experienced solving problems in my HLL code during sleep. It
was great fun. I am able to think very abstract (you have to, to develop
"low level" OOP code = not only reuse other peoples code), but tend to think
that Betovs way of less abstraction, more spesific is worth considering. But
for huge projects, planning ahead the big lines and what should be in the
final result is important. What is complex ? Its relative topic. I know
chessplayers that can instantly see their next move. But still they are not
able to see the complexities involved in pushing drugs at the world.
(Personal XP). I am NOT a trustable person. I never will be, since beeing
trustable feels like someone outside trying to limit my freedoom to change
my mind or control me. I hate control, when its not over a CPU = then its
good/over a user/person its BAD. My girlfriend is having problems with me
over this. Since we are never SET as a couple, its a from day to day thing.
Even hour to hour. Its called beeing alive. How can anyone not be involved
in politics to some extent ? I am not in political group if thats what you
mean, hate politicians as a occupation, and I am not in a religoius sect at
all, and think that I will never be, since that is also a question of
loosing freedoom and control/or exchanging it perhaps. If I meet God, and
she told me to join a religious group, I would ask him laughing : Whats with
you, got up on the wrong foot today ? I am afraid I might be one of those
lazy thinker HLL-freaks. I am so lazy that I have 100 000 lines of highly
structured OOP code that is ALL resuable and windows/Linux intercompileable
thanks to the new RTL from Borland it compiles on Linux. It solves Threads
problems and all filing problems there is in my OS. And more. Its a RAD tool
for DirectX/OpenGL. Sofar I have used ASM only in really speed needing
sections, like when implementing my memory manager for giving me full debug
info about ALL objects in my program. A define will enable/disable it.

I was offering to look at your OS. Thats all. If anyone asked me to have a
look at my code to comment it, I would consider myself damn lucky. I would
even consider giving the the right person money to do it when its ready for
first release. Cause its a huge work even to begin reading it. And all this
I am now (soon) ready to give up, and someday even delete to force me into
thinking outside of this box and go further into asm. Cause allthought I
dont like control, I still (at coding level) am a bit of a control
freak.That said, I most of all like to get things done, in this life.

I am now comming to the understanding that building a library in asm only is
not only possible but highly recommended for any programmer, and it was
partly Betovs code that woke me up to this fact. And PDF master Joda :-) who
allready has done it ? I want to do it and more. I have several things I
consider. Writing an OS from scratch (not something I would really really
want / helping someone develop an OS / writing a crossplattform OS (embedded
OS) that performs better than the host os (I wrote an explorer object that
helps me get to my directories much faster then IE in two hours) / Writing a
compiler.

Writing a compiler/assembler I consider to be not extremly hard. But my idea
would have to bring on a totally new programming concept or I will not do
it. A new way to program that is highlevel thinking and asm joined together.
Like maybe have a graphic tool a highlevel tool to STRUCTURE the
application, and then when implementing it have the option of writing it
assembler. A tool that let you easily see the structure and logic of a
program but while still program the code boxes in assembly. Then you can
plan the program independent from the implementation. But beforehand. I
would jump a tool like this at once myself. I hope betovs Spasm/Rosasm will
finally go in this direction, that you can compete the interface of the
programlogic using a highlevel tool, and then jump in and code the STUBs.
What about containers that you name the input and outputs using drag drop
and fast graphical tools, and then having all types/variables autodecleared
inside this box. A filter kind of way to program, where the code itself is
assembler ?

I could go on and on could I not ?
