- Wacky-Talky
- ===========
-
- Wacky-Talky is the manager of a *new* relocatable module type.
-
- The main idea behind this software is to have a real time link system,
- easy to use and transparent as much as possible, which makes programming
- more fun.
-
- The power of WT modules lays on:
-
- * the new routine type they can provide, named DLRs
- (Dynamic Link Routines); which makes them exist as
- run-time and assemble/link/compile-time libraries,
- * the three new, extremely fast, message types that can receive,
- * the ability to exist as overlays,
- * the ability to be compressed with variant ways
- and packed many of them in a single file,
- * the ability to have variable length header,
- * the manager that handles them :-)
-
-
- Just like system modules, WT modules can:
-
- * provide SWIs and *Commands,
- * receive Service Calls,
- * have multiple instantiations,
- * have run action,
- * exist as module tasks.
-
-
- The Wacky-Talky module manager, *among others*, provides:
-
- * link - *delink* DLRs on-the-fly,
- * a *huge* (27bit) number of user Software Vectors
- which are faster and more flexible than the 6bit
- ones provided by the kernel for internal use only...
-
- While several applications are using WT modules calling DLRs directly
- with BL and B instructions, a newer version of a WT module can replace
- its older one and nobody will understand anything; even the manager can
- be replaced on-the-fly with a newer (or equal) version.
-
-
- Additionally, using some WT tools you can have:
-
- * an interface to patch *easily* the BASIC assembler,
- * local labels for BASIC assembler,
- * new BASIC assembler mnemonics for prettier and easier sources,
- * include DLRs on assemble/link/compile-time,
- * very fast handling of tokens,
- * convertion from: RM, BASIC, Utility, Absolute, to WT modules.
