I certainly agree!

As moderator of CLAX, I have a program = yes, it's written in Assembly
- which pesters the submission mailbox every 15 minutes and every 15
minutes it returns "0 messages" for months at a time.

At least Sky_uck's rambling serves to confirm that this newsgroup is
working.

"Hi" to all assembly programmers! Wish you had more to say!

Best,
Frank

Recently I updated (slimmed down) my calendar program. but there was 0 interest.
I think I spent nearly a month trying various tricks to get a really compact nonjmp 'n'teenth routine. jmp version still won. Perhaps a bit obsessive.

....
;;; ax=day num [1-31] want 1st 2nd 3rd but 11th 12th 13th, then 21st 22nd 23rd ... 31st
call put2dec ;' dD'

;; put nth [21+2] ; ah | al
; 30 31 32 33 | 30 31 32 33 34-39
xor ah,0x01 ; 31 30 33 32 [3]
add ax,0x4FCC ; 80 7F 82 81 | FC FD FE FF 00-05
cwd ; dh=FF/00
isz:
and bl,dh ; scrap teens
cbw ; flag 0-3 in ah
and bl,ah ; scrap 9-4
; shl bx,1 ; *2
lea si,[bx+thstrs] ; pt to st etc
add si,bx ; si+2*bx
movsw ; 'th/st/nd/rd'
;; end put nth

....

put2dec: ; I: al=2dig num; uses ax, di inc by 1 or 2
aam ; zr if al=0, not ah, bah.
mov bl,al ; save ix (bh=0) [2]
or ax,0x3030 ; to disp
cmp ah,0x30
jz noldz1
mov [di],ah ; put tens
inc di
noldz1:
stosb ; put digit
do_ret: ret

thstrs db 'thstndrd'

Hi Wolfgang,
My hearing is failing. My eyesight is failing. My memory is failing.
What little ambition I had is gone. But I feel pretty good most of the
time, so I'm doing good!

Wishing you the best!

If posted to CLAX, I'm not seeing it yet...

OK, not recently. Actually it was
"show current Month's calendar in 256 bytes"
that garnered no interest.

The 'nth' code snippet I posted above was for for a different, but related program, possibly posted much earlier.
or maybe not. My memory is going!

Hi,

Actually I tried to respond without success.
And I lost my news access at that time as well.
What I tried to post was:

" Nice calendar program. Which showed a problem with
my own hex to binary conversion program. Which means
I will now have a programming project to restart."

Regards,

Steve N.

Thanks. hex2bin?

I think I just do bin-to-display: 2 decimal digits: 'putnumal'

%macro putnumal 0
;reqs cl=10
div cl
xor ax,0x3030
stosw ; put 'nn'
%endm
