    msboswriter : I can't remember how it makes the transition from cb to ct - I'd need to run it to see.
    msboswriter : I just type in the cell base address, then enter, then the cell top address, then enter.
    msboswriter : It may take two enters each time though rather than one.
    msboswriter : One to set the current byte and the other to set the whole address.
    Lilbigsoldier : I think it's enough for today
    msboswriter : If you can't get it to work, let me get back to you tomorrow with better instructions once I've run it myself and can give better instructions instead of working from memory.
    Lilbigsoldier : Take care, don't get distracted from AGI though.
    msboswriter : We need to find a better communication platform too.
    Lilbigsoldier : How do u wrote is from scratch?
    Lilbigsoldier : how do u write is from scratch
    msboswriter : wrote what?
    Lilbigsoldier : os
    Lilbigsoldier : Os not is
    msboswriter : Data statements in basic, poked into memory and run.
    Lilbigsoldier : Basic is close as assembly?
    msboswriter : I built a machine editor first and designed the indexing system straight away as everything else depended on it.
    msboswriter : I just worked out what was needed and built it piece by piece.
    msboswriter : When I did the PC version, I actually started by writing a floppy disk driver for it to run from the boot sector
    Lilbigsoldier : Wow
    msboswriter : If you think big and go for it, you can build anything.
    Lilbigsoldier : Make sure that v4 have those delete codes
    Lilbigsoldier : I don't wanna distract you though
    msboswriter : I'll avoid writing that code for as long as possible - it's a backward step and I want to keep moving forwards.
    msboswriter : AGI will soon be able to write it for me.
    Lilbigsoldier : Why don't you just write that code for your current os and then remove the AGI from it
    Lilbigsoldier : If it can written after the os ?
    msboswriter : No one else was using my OS so I started integrating AGI into it instead of keeping the two things seperate.
    msboswriter : And it does work better if they're integrated.
    Lilbigsoldier : Well ten years earlier I did know how to operate a computer and play games
    Lilbigsoldier : But then I didn't have access to the net
    Lilbigsoldier : I used to make conscripts back then for conlang
    Lilbigsoldier : I would have been possible that we would have made contact earlier
    Lilbigsoldier : Okay now have a happy working night and I will have happy morning sleep
    msboswriter : I need to do better preparations for this so that I don't waste your time with instructions that don't work.
    Lilbigsoldier : Why don't you try with risc or arm
    msboswriter : It's no good trying to do it from memory with an old version of the OS which I'm no longer fully familiar with.
    Lilbigsoldier : They have lesser instructions
    msboswriter : I'd have to rebuild everything and it would set me back years.
    Lilbigsoldier : Then don't do that
    msboswriter : The instructions that aren't working here aren't that kind of instruction though
    msboswriter : It's the difficulty in trying to help you set up a code cell that's the problem
    Lilbigsoldier : These are your shortcut s
    Lilbigsoldier : Shortcuts
    msboswriter : I need to find out how many presses of enter are needed to get from setting cb to ct
    msboswriter : And find out when it starts to say ct on the screen
    msboswriter : And what the colour changes are for.
    Lilbigsoldier : Okay I gotta sleep bye bye stay healthy
    msboswriter : Okay - Goodnight!
    Lilbigsoldier : See you at 12:00
