Awhile back in some MASM thread discussion,...Hutch made a comment about batch files (Here (http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=16738.msg139229#msg139229)),...and, having no idea what he meant,...I asked about it. Apparently, Raymond Chen has spies that are monitoring the MASM Forum for juicy programming tidbits,...because, today in his blog he reveals some really ancient intel about StdIn: Stupid Command-Line Trick: Counting the Number of Lines in StdIn (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/08/25/10200026.aspx)
...And, here's something I didn't know:
Quote from: RAYMOND CHEN...And back then (1982), pretty much all of MS-DOS was written in assembly language,...
Of course, there's an awful lot of stuff I don't know,...
Although, Dave's clearly the front-runner in this catagory,...I'm a close second,... :eek
EDIT: Corrected date above.
Thanks for the references. Not useless. Solidified my understanding of the ExitProcess return value.
Thanks, Robert

Either you pasted that wrong, or he corrected it later, cause I'm pretty sure we weren't using MS-DOS 16 years after the Norman Conquest. Anyway made me laugh. I thought they programmed it using some rich tapestry.

Ha,...Ha,...
This is the main reason I'm such a crappy programmer,...typos,... :eek
i get the impression that Clive was present at that little party
he probably programmed their GPS, which would account for the defeat of the Brits :bg
:bg
I imagine the problem was Harold Godwinson was still developing his guidance systems in Motorola 68k assembler while William was using C++.
