That's very cool, thanks for sharing that. The "amp" page didn't work for me, but I could access it here: https://wiki.edu.vn/wiki17/2021/01/05/mad-programmiersprache-wikipedia/ I didn't realize MAD supported abbreviations of instructions. Another way to get confused reading MAD source files. The wiki shows this 3-line program: (programs don't start with a "PROGRAM" instruction .. you just start writing) PRINT FORMAT HELLOW VECTOR VALUES HELLOW=$13h0Hello, world*$ END OF PROGRAM And apparently you can abbreviate those commands like this: P'T HELLOW V'S HELLOW=$13h0Hello, world*$ E'M Fortunately, the source files I'm working with don't have (I think) abbreviations like this, so I'm saved from that headache. *Interesting note: The page is titled "WÜTEND" (translated to English as ANGRY). I'm not sure if that's a German author who literally translated "MAD" to "WÜTEND" or why that was done. :-) _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
