1) FASM killed NASM some times ago, for the only reason that NASM
was written in C, and FASM in Assembly.

That's really interesting. How do you measure success? The number
of installations, the lines of code written till now, the number
of code currently written per day or something else? And where did
you get your information?

I am a simple mind, you know: I simply see how many posts
of users at each Board, and, in case of doubt, i also read
what the guys ask for, which gives a pretty good view on
what the users may be really doing and not doing.

These views show clearly that:

* The NASM "users" are pure beginners not even knowing how
to run the beast.

* The NASM "users" are much evidently, at best, HLLers who
may need a trivial routine in Asm, when facing the
limitations of their HLLs.

* The FASM users are, for some of them real Asmers. Most of
their questions show that they perfectly know how to use
the beast, and that a couple of them are really doing
"something". Of course not what i call "real life" apps,
as long as doing so would be difficult with FASM, but,
well... that's better than... nothing.


3) I have no plan and really no reason for ever thinking about
a RosAsm version written in 64 Bits. Why on earth would i?
Who needs 64 Bits?

Who needs ever more than 640 kbyte of RAM?

There is no room for joking, here, Herbert. Fact is that,
when Win32 came out, it was an evident improvement, which
everybody was waiting for. The oncoming of Win32
effectively arased DOS completely, because of the massive
advantages. And this is, as well, evident, that, the only
people who may need 64 are the "Market Sellers". Not the
Programmers. For 99.9999999999999% of the Applications,
64 will be utterly useless, and, in any case, the final
users will never see any difference. So we are in a very
different situation, than th one we got with the 16 to 32
switch.


How will you see if an Application is
written in 64 or 32 Bits? This is so absurd that i come to

How will you see if an Application is written in 32 or 16 Bits?

Heeuuuuhhh !!! Still under alchool, Herbert?
