From Paul Falcon To Valentin Pimenov 7 March 1998

I’m sitting here, reading, and suddenly I see Valentin Pimenov writes to Oleg Grigoriev... Hi Valentin! OG> Or something else. Should ASM always count OG> (I don’t think this will have much impact on performance) or OG> by special. team. Those. assembly directive. VP> can be like dos on pc. if you don’t know, then the person should do it himself VP> set the stack size. Those. writes: VP> aaa segment stack VP> ds ??? VP> aaa ends what are you driving? which ones in...ds? if your program stack is not more than 256 bytes, then you don’t need to write anything at all. if more then .STACK n <- and the jump must be selected. VP> imho, this can also be done. plus there’s no need to change the ASM too much. on PC there is such a feature: enter n,m and leave, the first command reserves space on the stack, the second one cleans it up. although on spec it's not real. ▌█▐▐║▌█▐▐▌▐ W!7h 7he Be$7 W!$he$ fR0M CREATOR product ▌812/03.00▐ Powered by Cyrix 6x86L 200/16DIMM/S3TrV2 2Mb/SBPro/Q1.6Gb/USR33.6
