Well I havent, post some, or if your worried about secrecy email it to
me. Ive written several projects in both languages, the asm version
has allways been much smaller.

There is always some one who can beat the compiler just as there is
always some one who can run a sub 4 minute mile. However in reality the
vast majority can do neither.

As for time limited, thats not really much help is it. Thats why
they can afford to do it.

Stop whining. There are always people who will find fault with
everything.

Oops, touched on a raw nerve there.



If you are that good programming a time or size limited compiler for
evaluation will tell you all you need to know about it's capabilities.

Who said I was that good?


On � the other hand I expect you will find a reason �why despite being
the worlds best assembler programmer you can't use a size or time
limited compiler.



Well lets draw up a competition and agree the rules. You will probably
need some one independent to hold the produced code until all have
completed their solution.

Yes lets do that. Some small project on a small PIC so everyone can
build and get working without spending too much money.

Money isn't the problem. It's time. And to be frank (currently doing
three months VAT accounts) I don't have the �time to waste on you. Life
is too short and this problem is mainly in your head anyway.

A cop out in other words as per usuall. By the way I do my quarterly
VAT return in about 2 hours manualy. I expect your accounts are on the
computer. There should be a button that does it for you in 2 minutes.



Rules:

To be agreed... Lets see your first offering of the rules.

Write
your code, program device, verify it meets the project spec,

Yes. We will need an agreed spec.

post the
memory map, and object file so everyone else can verify your program
works.

No... They will have to go to a third party to ho9ld until all are
finished and all the results posted at the same time to ensure no in
appropriate optimising.

No!! why not? I'm not suggesting posting source code. Do you think
someone would reconstruct an object file? I guess we could have a
release day after all participants have agreed they have completed.
Third party involvement seems a bit over the top dont you think.
