201103 - Discussion between Gary and Morris illustrate why transformation from
201104 - information technology to knowledge is slow, suggesting that SDS will
201105 - continue to be a unique solution for the foreseeable future.

201506 - 1. Here is a site with an introductory starter kit for writing
201507 - 32-bit Windows programs in assembler language, constructed by
201508 - Steve Gibson, who is a bit hipped on assembler. ref DRT 1 0001

201518 - 3. Perhaps this would provide sufficient information to tackle
201519 - converting MEdit to 32-bit Windows, which should support a much
201520 - larger memory space. ref DRT 1 HY6H
201522 - ..
201523 - On 030727 Gary notes in his SDS record that assembly language used for
201524 - many years to support SDS is not a good choice to upgrade SDS for
201525 - Windows and expanding memory. ref SDS 20 UY68 This point is cited in
201526 - the record on 030801. ref SDS 21 HX54

201547 - Medit Editor Upgrade 16-bit to 32-bit Assembly Not Enough time
201548 - Time Not Enough Due to Full-time and Part-time Employment
201549 -
201550 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 a letter from Morris responding to Gary's
201551 - letter earlier today subitting source for support to upgrade Medit
201552 - editor to 32-bit assembly language that expands memory for SDS running
201553 - under Microsoft Windows applications, per above, ref SDS 0 QU8K, and
201554 - saying...
201555 -
201556 - The problem is not knowing how, it is finding the time for the
201557 - writing and debug. The current design uses pointers of 16 bits
201558 - that are mapped to the segment register in the x86
201559 - architecture. Moving to a linear address space is a complete
201560 - overhaul of the architecture.
201562 - ..
201563 - Morris' limited time problem today, aligns with conditions cited in
201564 - his letter to Gary 2 years ago on 020108. ref SDS 17 U29J
201566 - ..
201567 - On 010208 Morris estimated changes to assembly code to increase memory
201568 - for SDS would take 1 week to code and 6 months to debug. ref SDS 16
201569 - 6Q8H
201571 - ..
201572 - Morris has a full-time job at Intel that takes a lot of time in
201573 - meetings, calls, and documents, which includes traveling around the
201574 - world managing big projects. He also has a part-time job teaching
201575 - graduate engineering at San Jose State college. This schedule, plus
201576 - family, church, and community involvement (e.g., Boy Scouts), plus a
201577 - side business in ham radio technology and sales leaves little time
201578 - for innovation and deliberation required for migrating the Medit
201579 - editor from 16-bit to 32-bit assembly language technology that expands
201580 - memory for SDS.
201581 -
201582 - [...below in the record today on 040505, letter from Gary
201583 - explains that learning technology evolving from 16-bit to
201584 - 32-bit assembly language makes upgrading Medit editor to
201585 - expand SDS memory very difficult. ref SDS 0 YS4L
