A83: CalcEm, Aurora, endless venting, etc.




Well, James, I took your advice, and got CalcEm, dumped my Rom, and starting
working.  It runs so very fast on my 486 66mHz, of course, that IS sarcasm.
So I thought I'd just go back do using my graphlink to send files to my good
old 83.  And even though every other time I run my programs, they crash, and I
must yank out all the batteries and press "ON" great numbers of times, then re
insert the batteries, open ultra edit, try to debug my program, compile my
program, send my program, then squish my program, then run my program, and it
crashes, and I have to do all of the above again, etc, yada yada yada.. ......
I love assembly!

Well, I would use Devpac83 if I wasn't so stupid..  it seems not to like me,
oh well.
Thank you, all, for listening for my endless rambling venting, as it has not
been a good day for me.  Now the real question:  "What the hell is Aurora?"  I
think I've kept my head in a ditch entirely too long.. It showed up at my
school.  One of my friends in math showed it to me.  
	"Look, Seth, it has ICONS!  It's soo much better than that crap you use, SOS
or 		whatever."  
	I rolled my eyes, "...so, does Aurora support libraries?"
	"Um.. what's that?"
	I sighed.  "Does Aurora run Squished programs?"
	"What the hell is a Squished program?  Who needs those when you have
				ICONS?!"
	"How much memory does this Win95 wannabe gui/shell thingy take up?"
	"It doesn't matter.  It has ICONS!  And a mouse!  And a password protection
		thing!  It's soo much better than the shell you use."
	"Have you noticed none of your basic programs appear on the "desktop" and
			have beautiful glimmering icons?"
	"Basic is dumb anyways."

This little excerpt was not an attack on Aurora, in fact, it will be Christmas
in hell before I can program something that useful, I'm just saying to all the
people out there, if you're not using SOS, you should.  While my level of
assembly still lies at tic tac toe programs, factoring programs, and an
assembly version of the periodic table that I made myself and I use to cheat
on tests in chemistry, I DO have good tastes.  Long live SOS!

Seth

(P.S.  Don't make any replies to this letter concerning devpac83 in the form
of, did you insert this in your ASM.bat file, then list the bit of commands
I'm supposed to insert.  C'mon folks, perhaps it's not obvious, but I'm not
THAT stupid.  Have a good day!)
