I'm starting to understand what PilOS really is, thanks to your patient explanations. I'll keep hacking away at it, since the payoffs are big for me from a learning perspective. I don't need a typical system - gcc, clibs, or a gui. I was trying to follow some of the rosetta code examples, and that's when I started to see what's in PilOS. When you say "@lib/z3d.l" is in C, if I wanted to learn how to build upon PilOS, would it be preferable to use pil-assembly or Lisp (PicoLisp, I assume)? Can I learn pil-assembly from the source files, or do you have a reference somewhere? Thanks again!
