converting javascript to asm

FORTRANS

Hi,

   In college we had an HP minicomputer with BASIC.  A few of us
rebooted it after hours to run FORTRAN.  Later I programmed
CDC computers at work (FORTRAN again).  We eventually got
some PC/AT's and used X86 systems until retirement.

   At home I started with an F8 microprocessor with assembler.
Around 1981 I got a Zenith Z-90 Z-80 system (same as a Heath
H-89) BASIC at first, later assembly and FORTRAN.  An Apple ][
showed up sometime later.  Graduated to a Zenith Z-110 8088
(and 8085) DOS system when the Air Force gave Zenith the
contract to supply them with computers.  There were a bunch
of them for sale used shortly after that.  286, 386 and Pentium
and so forth since then.  Using FORTRAN, BASIC, assembly, and
PostScript to have fun on them every so often.

Cheers,

Steve N.

Around 1982 I wrote a FORTRAN IV program on a PDP-11, simulating some complex thermodynamic process. The printout was about 3-4 metres long, huge for my standards. And yes, compile time was just about right for a coffee break :badgrin:
Later, I bought a ZX Spectrum, and around 1986, the time had come to buy The Real Thing: an Atari ST with a whopping one MEGA!! byte of RAM but no harddisk yet. GfaBasic and 68k assembler became my friends ;-)

yes, the legendary PDP-11. But GfaBasic wasn't so bad and the Motorola 68000 was an excellent CPU.

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

Hi ragdog,

your second link is NASM/YASM syntax. Although that could be converted simply to masm syntax, that do not like it a lot. I don't know why.

Bogdan & bitRake at work :t

My pow() implementation is based on qWord/Agner Fog, and probably a tick faster. If that is not fast enough, e.g. for graphics, one could create once a huge table with ExpXY() or similar, then interpolate the requested values linearly.

many of the links in the old masm32 forum are similar

no doubt about it. I'm using YASM very often and I've no problem with the slightly different syntax. But other programmers seem to have difficulties.
