<snip> Considering the circumstances, I have a couple of notes to add to the five rules for code submission -- not new rules, just notes to help avoid misunderstandings. 1) Frequently I write code to be more easily understood rather than heavily optimized to save a stray byte or two. Since almost nothing in the memory managers is nanosecond-critical, being able to understand commented code without tracing Byzantine logic flows to figure out what the heck it does is more important to the project. 2) If an individual doesn't test their code to see if it works at all before submitting it, I become quite cranky. That crankiness will extend to future submissions by the person who felt he or she didn't need to test their own code. Heh, "she". Has anyone seen a female within a mile/kilometer/furlong of FreeDOS development? Too bad about the lack of them, though. We could use a few. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
