Re: A83: Sub-routines




First of all, there are much better programming languages than VB, for 
example, Borland C++ Builder.  It has all the functionality of VB but is C++, 
a much more powerful and versatile programming language (IMHO, the best 
language out there).

Second of all, the Z80 compilers are for DOS because Windows didn't exist 
when the makers of Z80 created the compiler.  The Z80 is a VERY old 
processor, my dad used one decades ago, before the silicon chip.  You're 
lucky there's a compiler for PCs at all.

Also, no one has created a new compiler for Windows because there is no need 
to, the DOS one works just fine, and compilers are very hard to write.  They 
take months if not years to make.

Well, that's my 15.4 cents.
