Re: HLA StdLib2 criticism

Pointing to faults, in what this stinking nerd is doing, is
nothing but _giving him a hand_.
I have no problem helping someone i don't agree with. In fact, i
advice people not to use his product. But still, if his library
becomes better, then overall quality of code increases.

And I don't do this for Randy, but for peope using his whatever-HLA-is.

Also many people reading this topic will see how i found particular
errors, and they will learn even from this bugreport.

How can you fall in such a big trap?
I don't believe he is doing something against assembly on purpose,
that is your idea.

PS. Another "strange" thing was with releasing a version of
your job for MASM. What for? You want to become a famous .lib
Author, or what? Working for MASM is nothing but working AGAINST
Assembly. Is your ego more important, for you, than Assembly is?
i believe you mean FASMLIB here.

Generally, my point is to set FASMLIB as "assembly language library
standard", like libc is for C. I believe I do have some chances, as
FASMLIB
is only portable asm library, besides HLALib (which has many flaws that
are not present in FASMLIB)

Unfortunately, MASM is most used assembler, so for this purpose i just
have to support it. Also FASMLIB could help people stop using buggies
like MASM32LIB.

hope you understand now
