Journal Earthquake Retrofit's Journal: Installing an editor/assembler 1
Well, it had warned me, but holy shit the anti-virus went off like I've never seen before. So I choose 'send file(s) to virus vault' and worried, but perhaps feeling brave, (or crazy see below) keep going. Weird console window but it seems to be assembling and linking libraries, just like it said. Run the editor, File, Open... SIRENS warning warning Trojan. "WTF, just from looking at a directory?" Alright, this isn't working. I checked the add-install list, nothing, but I already read that it would be unzipped not 'installed'. I deleted it all. Back to the website. The guy at the forum says "It's not my fault, It's not my fault! huristics don't understand assembly level programs because we're crazy."
"Okay," I think, "that makes sense." And the free AV I'm using is one of the two implicated. I disable my internet connection and I'm not turning off my huristics so I'll just choose ignore. I run the installer, same as before, ignore ignore. So far so good. I run the editor, fine. File, Open, warning! warning! No, I'm gonna get tired of this. So, back to the AV. Turn off huristics. Run the editor. No effect, same as before. But I happened to noticed the 'exclude path' choice on the AV advanced menu and that finally worked.
File, Open, example1.asm. "Oooo, pretty."
So my question is, just how crazy do assembly level programmers have to be? Steve

in the comp sci I took at uni was the course that included microcode. I got the equivalent of an A for my PDP-11 assembler piece of work and learning about different assembly language architectures/constructs was fun.
But then again I am potentially a raving nutter.
