Because it seems more fun to compete I guess. I shouldn't have waited with what I did in 2010. But I thought that I'll do all the other versions some day as well and release it all together. Which didn't happened. Instead I believed that it's still useful as it is. Who knows, maybe someone will fill in the gaps for the other versions just for fun and fame. But for some reason everyone believes that it's pointless, there's no fame for improving on someone else's work. With this thinking I should not have bothered with resurrecting the original sources and fill in the gaps. Or to cut down the 1571 source to make it the source for the 1541-II. After all I didn't wrote the original version, why bother? The original 1571/81 stuff was available a year earlier anyway to anyone. Unfortunately I'm not in the mood to improve either what I did or any other floppy disassemblies. I had 4 years for that, still other things got priorities. I was a little thinking on improving Ruud's KERNAL disassembly, unfortunately it's not possible easily when it's not in a version control system. And writing e-mails (like this) can take more time than it seems. In this regard your project is better, but I would split the different versions into branches without macros/ifdefs and then merge any changes made to one of them to the others, if applicable. But this goes right against the current philosophy. But anyway, there's a lot of other things to do. Still I'll keep an eye what you do, it's really interesting. - -- -soci- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlSdrwIACgkQyBOVYiJltRYlvgCdEyB3pFEK7UVQrNMcqUkz+4pT zWcAoORcVUbcpWt/iOdLk2ueCSEdlT1N =yTYE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2014-12-26 19:00:03
