       The problem with this scenario       (((   `\
       is that it assumes Randy is some     _ _`\   )
       kind of ultimate "authority"...      (^  )   )
       which, as we all know, can be a       ~-(     )
       highly questionable assumption.       _'((,,,)))
       Remember, we're talking about      ,-' \_/    `\
       the guy who wrote HLA. Hehe!      (          ,  |
                                          `-.-'`-.-'/|_|
       Truth is, many of Hyde's criti-       \     / | |
       cisms of RosASM are matters of         =()=: / ,' aa
       personal style or preference.
       Betov sometimes deviates from the bureaucratized
       'traditional' way of doing things in his coding
       of RosASM. This, in itself, is not necessarily a
       valid basis for criticism...since RosASM *does*
       generate perfectly functional WinDoze apps.

       Randy's criticism of RosASM's functionality con-
       cerns, in large part, matters of a highly esoteric
       technical nature. Despite what Randy says, not one
       programmer in a million would ever experience any
       problems using RosASM to write an application. And
       once a programmer becomes totally familiar with the
       RosASM style of programming, he'd literally NEVER
       experience a problem.

       Every assembler has its own little eccentricities
       which a programmer must become accustomed to. If
       someone were to delineate for you all of the glitches
       and hacks in MA$M, you'd be scared to use MA$M, as
       well. Hehehe!

       The bottom line is: don't take Hyde's *****sment of
       RosASM as gospel. Randy has his own ax to grind,
       both personally and professionally, and it can color
       his critique of other people's work.

       RosASM is free, for #%@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 sake. So download that sucker,
       try it out for YOURSELF, and make your OWN decision
       about it.

       Don't be a stereotypical WinDoze weenie, and unques-
       tioning accept what someone else TELLS you.

       You know what happens to lemmings who blindly follow a
       'leader,' don't you? Hehe!
