A89: Re: "doors" mode
Hi Scott!
| I'm starting to get annoyed at seeing everyplace refer to a program needed
a
| kernel as a "doors program." It was bad enough when Xavier decided to
make
| his include file use doorsos::rom_call rather than tios::rom_call; now
this
| is all sticking everywhere.
So what? We can't get it off anyways.
| With all these new (and, IMHO, superior) shells coming out, how about
| calling these "kernel programs" rather than "doors programs" (as opposed
to
| "nostub programs," which could also probably use a better name)? Seeing
| this stuff plastered all over TI-GCC lib is just too much. . .
OK, but why? It would be a ton of work for Zeljko, and a little bit for me,
too, and too much for all of us. Why don't we just leave it the way it is;
they're just names. BTW: My IDE sayss "Doors and 100% compatible shells"
in the Template Wizard. Is that close enough for you?
| For starters, how about copying doors.h to a new file, kernel.h, and
| changing doors.h to a single line of "#include <kernel.>"? This would
keep
| compatibility and stop nagging me.
Ask Zeljko.
| I'm probably just nitpicking, but I hate
| to see people just use new versions of doors rather than more stable
kernels
| because doors is older. . .
There must have been a reason for Xavier to call it 'Doors'. Doors and
Windows, get the point?
I better say I'm just kidding. Bye,
Sebastian Reichelt
P.S.: Scott, aren't you a member of ACZ? Do you have any contact with
Rusty Wagner? I have an important thing on my mind about VTI, and he didn't
answer my email I sent weeks ago. So if you do talk to each other from time
to time or whatever comes close to talking (chat/email/whatever), could you
please write back so that I can write it all down for you?
