- - Nowadays I get paid to write C on monster workstations, which raises
- - the question, why do I still have a TI? Well... it's fun to write a
- - little assembly now and then. I might even tackle a big program if
- - I had a killer C compiler. (No I'm not taking suggestions; I have
- - enough already. A cool game, or, heavens, another BBS program
- - that I actually did write ANSI C routines for just as an exercise (!),
- - or most unmarketable of them all, a GIS (Geographic Information System)
- - that interfaces to TI-Base. I think that would be really cute-- a mapping
- - program on a TI. You'd almost need a CD-ROM drive then...)

- Hmmmmmm... I accept your "detailed" reason why you use F'Web 3.x.
- Have you tried Art Greens Rag Assemblerer/Linker, its small and top
- notch?
- About your Geneve, I believe there is hope yet for it now that the source
- is in the right hands...
- About writing a BBS program, you would do a great service to the TI
- community if you developed a 100% assembly or c BBS program that
- supported full ANSI color and the option to go 40/80 col. We in Edmonton
- are currently writting a full blown BBS program based on the Telco
- modular concept, not Rambo as we had initially planed to do, but it is a
- slow process as we only have 2 busy programmers. Are you interested?
