Try as I might, I must be missing something, because as you mentioned either here, or on the board, it is surely seems generous enough. - Scott

I just cannot do this, because it is illegal, according to Herbert after corresponding with Microsoft themself. Havent you seen Herberts postings on the matter? And even if I could, if it would have become legal, it is still an open question if it could be legal to translate the sources to RosAsm, and or if they would be selfcontained sources. And you would also have to identify the ones you wanted me to translate, as otherwise I would just pick the ones I wanted, and you would possibly fail automatically. The one you posted, doesnt answer the challange for instance, and if theres 20 more like that one... the thing is automatically settled to my "advantage". So how about volume down on "hateating" and pushing the sources right in here instead. :) What have you got to loose?

Assuming what you say is true, then can you not download it directly from Microsoft? I understand the purist C-Side-Toy perspective, but is it legal to download MASM? Would not Microsoft there provide any justification for their position? Since Herbert didn't actually post his questions, only the responses, it's a little difficult to know what they were even responding to. Maybe they were confused by the question - to vague, to much info, etc. Even so, since one could clearly assume that at least one of the MASM team at Microsoft would surely lurk here, why would they not just post an official statement and clear this point of contention? - Scott |
