> Should the next version of PlusShell default to outputting assembly
programs which require no kernel or libraries?
it should ask but be able to be set by command line
> Many users are having problems with kernels, libraries, conversions,
etc., etc. On the 82, 83, 85, and 86, there are no libraries, and
using assembly games is a piece of cake. With the huge capacity of
the 89's memory, should we really need to use libraries and/or
kernels? Why not just use only the built-in assembly support, saving
everyone the effort of dealing with the extra files?
the problems were are having with libraries is why I think that they
were tossed in usguard. we've got tons of memory so let's just toss
them. But we should keep the kernel
> It is also true that kernels have some advantages. With a kernel,
it is possible to have the ability to run Fargo and old PlusShell
programs and libraries directly, without any conversion. Crash
protection (like in Doors OS) can also be implemented more easily.
But should the kernel be required for running programs? It saves
memory, but is it worth the extra effort and confusion?
I think that it's defiantly worth it but I think that the two shells
should be called the same thing (maybe OS plus) and have the shell and
crash protection plugins
