- Yes, but back in '90 the 'real' Kefrens broke up, and I believe almost
- no-one of the original crew helped or indeed are in, the New Kefrens.
- IMHO, the new kefrens aren't even close to that of the real kefrens.

- Yep, Seka, Master Seka and later Asmone (which was written by a former kefrens
- member Promax.) Here, again, IMHO devpac2 is no good for the demo's/intro's
- most people write. However Seka today is not a very good assembler but Asmone
- is.

- Yep. I have a feeling that might have stuck from the C64 days where almost
- all machine where the same and things appeared at the same address everytime.
- Coding relocatable code is an art, and should be practised more often! :)
