Assembler? Bleedin' eck. Apart from me and Zeity who on CUK is ancient enough to be able to do that?

Me.

I used to prefer Macro 11, far more sensible than 8086 etc.

This was the thread that made me realise what an utter cock atw was.

Looks like Churchy made an arse of himself with some poor code from the 1980's.

WHS

Yes I know the penalty for resurrecting old great threads is a perm ban but I dear admins!!!

Below is a piece of code. If you feel like optimising it then please do. It is purely an exercise and for the hard of thinking (AtW), not a competition. Your resulting code must be assembled via debug and if you use a hex listing (in the case of .386 code for example) then please show your source code and explain any optimisations

Out of interest is this real code from some legacy system?

[NickFitz]

I thought you said it was code, not anarchic jibberish

Do you need to tell us the target architecture for optimisations to be sensible? Out of interest is this real code from some legacy system?

Relax. The challenge ended over a year and a half ago

1.5yrs ago!!! jeez, I remember reading this thread, it seems like it was just a few months ago..

Still haven't bought the Dummies Guide to Learning Assembly or whatever a good beginners book would be. AND I still haven't bought the Python for Beginners book either...

This time next year rodders..

Well, there are some who say if you havent coded assembly language you are not a real programmer.

Me, i dont care, I only do web development and leave assembly language to AtW and Churchy.

I've moved on to coding .NET assemblies.
