REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION
Group Name: comp.lang.asm.x86
Status: unmoderated
Distribution: world-wide
Summary: Discussions related to the direct programming of
the Intel 8086, 186, 286, etc . . . processors and
its clones.
Proposed by: Michael J. Averbuch (mikeaver@firefly.prairienet.org)
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) on the subject of
creating an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, comp.lang.asm.x86
CHARTER
The proposed unmoderated newsgroup comp.lang.asm.x86 will be
open to discussions on all topics related to assembly language
and low-level programming on IBM machines with '86 processors.
Appropriate topics would include, but not be limited to,
Assembly language tips and tricks (code techniques)
MASM, TASM, and other commercial assemblers
Graphics, sound, and other hardware programming
Assembly language code
Assembly language related share/freeware
Linking assembly language with other languages
Etc . . .
Topics that are discouraged are:
Flames about "{Language X} is {better/worse} than ASM"
Flames like "{Assembler 1} is {better/worse} than {Assembler 2}"
High-level language code, except when used for
hardware programming
This is NOT a call for votes. A Call For Votes (CFV) will be
posted about one month from now and will be conducted by an
independent third party.
The format for this RFD is taken from the RFD for comp.lang.m
(which I downloaded from the RFD in news.announce.newgroups)
and I thank Mr. Smith in advance for not protesting the use of
his RFD format, which he borrowed from somebody else anyway.
I already wrote a miniature preliminary FAQ. Look for it in
the news.groups newsgroup.
