Boy, some folks really get sensitive when a negative remark is made in the
same sentence as BCPL! <grin> I should know better than to argue with you
about the language! <ducking>
Actually, what I was attempting to say (now that I know that I'm being
watched 🙂 is that the manner in which the CLI environment was implented (such
implementation having been written in BCPL but not necessarily because it was
written in BCPL) was not really designed to support shared code segments for
multiple processes. Better?
My biggest complaint about the BCPL layers of the OS environment is that
they are the poorest documented of all components of the Amiga software.
There's a lot of deep, dark hidden voodoo there!
