If i´m not mistaken....you are also one more who don´t consider it an
assembler ;)

René, don´t forget GertFaller and his current work on the BCX
Translations ;) and Fabricio with the portuguese translation of the
B_U_asm.

The development team is working hard to improve the product, and we
don´t have the tendence to keep on the path of "self-promotion at any
cost".

I guess i already answered that here, but, if you (Or anyone else, who
is using or wants to use RosAsm) have questions, comments, criticts,
ideas, methods, etc. about RosAsm, this NG is not the proper place for
commenting technical aspects of it.

The questions, comments, requests about the product should be done in
the proper board at:

http://www.quanta-it.com/easbell/RosAsmForum/index.php

Currently we are only 7 working at the same time on different aspects
of RosAsm. Anyone who wants to join and try to improve, can post on
RosAsm board, and contact us. We still need to develop things like a
good (If not perfect) H2Inc, the Interface for the ApiViewer (Which the
internal data i already collected since sometime ago), a delphi form to
asm, a VB form to asm, or any other features that people may feel
necessary to improve. Just contact us, to we all discuss the ways to be
done, or how it can be implemented.

This is how we try to work. We try to work as a team. Everyone of us,
before implement something big or meanfull in RosAsm, post it there and
talk to each other. This is a way to we help on the development.


So, if you have any idea or know how to implement or improve something,
contact us at RosAsm board ;)

Not really. 50 years of software engineering technology said so.

Besides HLA, there are also other fine choices; FASM, NASM, MASM,
GOASM.
MASM is probably the best choice as there is the most sample software
for it, and Bogdan's game is written in MASM compatible mode I believe,
which would be a great help.

Nope, and there's no way I'd ever use an assembler (or preprocessor in
this case) that gets "dest, src" backwards, no matter how good it was.

Doesn't mean that Randy can't make a valid point now and then.

Exactly whom are you responding to?
I think that Richard has made it very clear that he is not an HLA user
and has no interest in HLA.

I think you've been hanging around with Rene too long and you've let
his paranoia affect you too much. Believe it or not, *few* serious
assembly language developers would *ever* consider a product that does
not support linking of static object modules (e.g., libraries). This
one omission alone will guarantee that RosAsm never garners any
reasonable level of success. I think you'll find that *few* people
who've used *any* kind of assembly language over the years would ever
be tempted to switch to RosAsm; we're not just talking HLA users here.

Cheers,
Randy Hyde
