I read Usenet, sure. But I do have lots of better things to do with my time too. And any assembly routines I write are 100% pure useful-for-other-things. First of all, it hones my writing skills, and secondly, a good many can be transplanted to other projects on other machines. >marc broster If anyone's wondering, I assume that this is the same Marc Broster who wrote the DWC demo on Fred 50... with its absolutely appalling perspective. Yuck. Other than that, it was a technical masterpiece. I must say though, that if I had to take up nearly 512k to do the 3d graphics routines for a game, I'm sure I wouldn't have room in the memory to do Elite afterwards. If you need THAT much memory for a 3d line drawing routine, you're doing it *WRONG*. He's also a fellow member of Mnemotech with David Zambonini.
