Message-ID: <1990Aug27.194308.4418@terminator.cc.umich.edu> Date: 27 Aug 90 19:43:08 GMT Sender: usenet@terminator.cc.umich.edu (usenet news) Organization: University of California, Santa Cruz; Open Access Computing Lines: 23 In the beginning, I was the godly programmer in Applesoft BASIC (that's apple //e-language folks.) -- I was writing all these evil programs and such, and I wrote my own primative BASIC compression program; it lagged but it actually did compress the thing a bit. Well now that I have a mac se/30, I am learning C and I would just love to learn the ultimate low-level mac language that gives me the most power over mr. mac - I am completely clueless as to what this language is; is there some form of 68030 assembly? Surely! If so, does anybody here have an estimate at how many decades it'll take for me to be fluent in it? I gave a shot at 6052 or 6502 - whatever the IIe assembly is, and i didn't get past page 100.. mind you, that was when I was 10. WELL anyhow, alls I need to know is A, WHAT is the low-level language to do all the complex hacks and such, B, is it humanly possible to learn it?, and C, about how long? Maybe a D, what SOFTWARE do I have to purchase and how many C-notes do I need to fork over for it for a compiler or whathave you? Reply via mail or rn, no matter to me.
