The email server wasn't sending out emails (again), this should be fixed again. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Awesome! I'm finally getting into the TI community. I've been trying to learn C and ASM on my own. Since I have a book on C programming it should be coming along much better.
Anyways, I'm happy to be part of this group. This group has the brightest minds in the TI world :excited: ! I hope to learn from everyone here.

Excellent! When you specify C, are you talking about the 68K calcs, or are you using C on the Z80 calcs too?

Well, I'm actually studying C for the computer. Z80 calculators don't even run C programs do they? I'm trying to educate myself in a high-level language so I can more understand the "Learn ASM in 28 Days" tutorial. I do well with the tutorial for the first few lessons, but once I hit around lesson 5, I feel like I'm reading Japanese.
Well, if I get the hang of C better than ASM then I might just program for my TI-89 Titanium.

C is anything but high level. ;) There are some C compilers for the Z80 out there, but it doesn't lend itself very well to C and the resulting programs are pretty inefficient.

In that case, what does constitute a high-level programming language. See, you can already tell I'm quite new to this stuff. :?

Well, that said, high- and low-level are relative terms. Generally, the higher level you get, the more you are abstracted away from the underlying workings of the computer, and C is still pretty close to that. C is still, however, higher level than assembly.

I suppose functional programming languages such as ML or Haskell could be fairly safely called "high level", as they let you focus on elegant, simple code without needing to worry about low-level concerns like memory management.

The project has not been cancelled, so it wont be taken down.

And how do you know when it has or hasn't been worked on? :).

Don't keep us hoping for the completion of it by Joe...Maybe he can release a demo/the source so it can be completed?

Maybe he already has?

You guys should not concern yourselves with this.

well, presuming something that has been *locked* for many a month if not year, let alone recieved updates in that time, is dead is totaly illogical...

but if you are saying that in fact there is progress, I am all ears...or eyes since I would read as opposed to hear such news

I had some troubles with old links...
To fix old links like this: http://kvince83.tengun.net/maxboard/viewtopic.php?t=275
Just use the current link http://www.junemann.nl/maxcoderz/
then add in the end: from "viewtopic.php" until the end. And stays like:
this: http://www.junemann.nl/maxcoderz/viewtopic.php?t=275 (the forum doesn't show the first part)
Is going to there and *should* work. For me worked fine.

Is possible to pass a script or something to fix the links? Or just by hard manual work?

Our host does not permit external access to the database which would make such a thing difficult (not to mention dangerous, as you'd really want to back up the database first). I don't have FTP access either so can't add a JavaScript-type fix, sorry.

Edit: But I can edit the site template. I've added a small JavaScript fix to the bottom of each page, hope that does the trick!
