No its not. He is writing the 32 bit version this minute.

;-) I am checking it out for fun. A cool written intro story at the
mainpage :-)) Scored a point with me, except for the 50$, but I am sure
its worth it. RosAsm is worth at least ten times that.

Anyway,an asm interpreter, that can run code without an assembly stage
first. Sort of instant assembly. (You can run the instructions in the
tutorial, inside the tutorial). ;-)) Very charming, for sure. But I
question it will be useful for more than a helloworld app. Remains to be
seen. It can even backtrace instructions....

If you write ...

xx
   inc eax
   dec ecx
   jnz xx

;it will follow the loop, while the full cpu state is visible in a side
window. Charming. And you could then edit one instruction (sort of _while_
the program runs) Maybe very good to test out certain assumtions on small
amounts of code, well, I cant say for sure. Dont know yet, but it might be
useful. But, very cool tutorial. I mean, if he writes a 32bit version, and
then uses the interpreter as a frontend to a backburning
assembler.......hmm... then maybe you could work with the interpreter, as
the source editor, and then when you compile, the real compiler is handed
the code, and the progam is runned as usual. Whatever, nice work anyway.
Those that havent; take a look.
