| Source for a BBS loader with a star field and scrollie - I never thought I'd give this high a rating for source to a BBS loader, but I figure there's got to be some way for people to know what to look for. The source is beautiful and there are more comments than there are lines of source! *Perfect* for the beginner, though not a tutorial.

To answer a question proposed by the author about size optimization, inc al is bigger than inc ax because intel doesn't have an inc /r8 instruction. inc ax is of the form inc /r16 which compiles to db 40+rw, where rw = 0 for ax, 1 for cx, 2 for dx, 3 for bx, ... inc al is of the form inc r/m8 and compiles to db FE /1 where /1 = c0 for al, c4 for ah, c1 for bl..., 05 for a memory reference.... See an intel document for more details.

| Examples and API for using the AWE32 - And people wonder why there's not much SB support. The information in the packet is contorted. I could go on this for days. Comments like /* main - here's where the fun begins */ are misleading. The fun actually began several hundred lines ago (starting at line 134). It's late. I'm not exactly bored, but this bit of code is frustrating. I wonder why CL even bothered. There are no technical docs of any sort and the code that is here *REEKS* of bad style. For extra frustration, I unzipped the file which had a self extracting .exe in it, which gave me 4 zips which when each extracted with the -d option finally gives me the SDK. Kneebiter - at 1:30 in the morning. Need more tea...

The tut has just enough info to grasp how windows works, the mindset needed for coding, and some basic messages windows can throw at you. Good for the ultra-beginner with windows. (Oh, the example here is a star field)
