that's great! very vew people understand how any machine really works. it might not be something one can readily apply to another system, but it will give you insights that can be reused in a lot of situation. > > The Riga Technical University and University of Latvia made based > > projects in Plan9 using coding in binary code? > > > > The developers of Plan9 think there was no point in coding in binary > > code three years ago as they did or make the Riga Technical University > > and University of Latvia? > > Apparently. i think this is a false choice. guessing here, i would imagine that there was no advantage to using machine language seen with respect to the labs' goals. this doesn't pass judgement on programming in machine language. personally, i find it tedious with the machines i've had access to, but more experienced programmers than i remember a day when it was straightforward to code in octal. seymore cray programmed this way. - erik
