I’ll do it now.

Sadly, there is less memory. ~16kb.

It's hard to understand with STS, for example, that read() requires purely tr-dos
file parameters.

No, how long did it take to write KVA Lara? It seems like a couple of months.
Bugs, of course, then years.you'll catch it.

But not on ASMA. On ASMA you can waste months writing elementary
things, and years debugging. Everything should be in C, except for the very low-level, where
it’s simply impossible to do without ASMA. And all input/output needs to be converted to ANSI-C
at least a little.

You can first make a working version for the PC (it’s easier to debug) and then
drag it to the spec. The main thing is that it fits into memory.

And if without a PC, then the C compiler is only in the CPU/M...
HiSoft-C for tr-dos is buggy and generates disgusting code.
And there are no libraries there. Everything is bad.
