It's mainly that I just prefer programming in assembler on the 8080/8085 - it's easier to fit the instruction set neatly in my head. The 8085 is also much easier to emulate and I like the ease of interfacing it with…
Turbo Pascal is great and I love the fact that it uses the Wordstar key combinations. I wish that there was a version for 8080 but I understand why they went with the Z80. Borland went on to create Turbo Modula-2 for…
I think it's generally cleaner, more elegant and the combining of commands on a line is easier. I love that you can create macros such as: MNCPM^Z0TT6Z-3DICP/M^Z This will go through a file bigger than memory, display…
It's funny that you should say that because VI/VIM, another modal editor, is my editor of choice on Linux, with JSTAR second. However, lately I've been thinking of writing a modal editor for Linux based on CP/M's ED. I…
Honestly, I really do love it. I've used plenty of other editors on CP/M and now that I've got used to ED I just don't find them as quick or often as powerful as ED. That doesn't mean that they don't have extra features…
