I'm tired of arguing about this, so I'll program the assembler to utilize
whatever format you guys come up with. The vote is clearly for modules,
so go with modules. (Just remember our debate before you whine about the
module load sequence. ;-) )
(Bill:) The module standard page is still rough. If you want to update
it, go ahead and mail me the revisions, and I'll post them. Keep in mind
that I can't make a proper assembler without proper knowledge of the
module format!
One more thing: We don't have to have a flag for perform program
write-back. We can make it a module. Then programs could save themselves
at any time, instead of only when they exit.
