Sometime Today, j cobbled together some glyphs to say:
There was one other (cant remeber his name or the web links) who did all the coding for the first product MS Basic written in assembly.
Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote the code for Altair Basic for the MITS Altair 8800. Monte Davidoff wrote the floating point arithmetic routines. Allen and Gates competed with writing a boot loader. The final code ran in 4KB of memory.
That's how good these guys were. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altair_BASIC Philip -- Smoking is, as far as I'm concerned, the entire point of being an adult. -- Fran Lebowitz -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
