No, this was "generally" spoken. I don't know your intentions. > Of course _I_ think that NASM is better. Yes, I know. And I think that the "more free"-advantage of Nasm, which you and Eric did point out is nonsense. That's virtually all my post was about. > I don't understand how this relates to assemblers. It was a metaphor. > Of course he's free to use JWASM instead. You could have posted all the great > advantages of JWASM over NASM (that you surely know some) instead of this. Probably. But it's not my intention to "advertise" JWasm. > (Yes, there might be great MASM manuals or > books which can be used to write JWASM Assembly. But are they "free", only > like in "free of charge"?) I don't know. I'm a strong believer in determinism, that is: freedom exists as an idea only, or, if you prefer: as an illusion in your mind. > Or a large community with more than one developer, like NASM has? The question whether Masm or Nasm has a larger "community" or is more "widely used" is indeed somewhat interesting, but it's interesting because it's a common propaganda item which nicely shows that people tend to believe what they want to believe. > Who cares about that anyway, use the great JWASM instead! I realize that you're a bit annoyed, but why? My reply was initiated because I felt that someone must take the burden and defend the other side. Isn't that just "fair" :)). Please remember, JWasm is an innocent assembler, it cannot defend itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
