There are more than one useful output formats on most systems. By definition, there can only be one "default" for any operation. Is it worth it to recognize an absence of C code as a different operation, with a different default? Beats me. :-) But I do think that having only one output provided with easy access is not enough. > > What exactly is "ready-to-run" in this context? > > Certainly something I can run form the command line (aka BASIC > prompt). Not pretty, but something you have to do LOAD "prg$8000",8,1 followed by SYS32768 does qualify as "ready-to-run", IMO. Object code without the ORG address is not ready for anything. // Agent Friday ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Fri Nov 5 22:13:23 2010
