It's really enjoyable to look at the source. These days one I feel it's quite rare to see assembly code not as an output from a tool like IDA Pro.
If I remember correctly, the size of a compiled GWBASIC.EXE file was about 80 kB.
What feels weird though is seeing all the files on GitHub last modified "38 years ago," which by the way, also includes the file CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
- bitcrazed 6y agoYou think there weren't codes of conduct back in 1983? ;)
- 4cao 6y agoMarkdown itself is from 2004 but the .md extension/suffix wasn't used for it until sometime later (not really sure where it appeared first).
- tjalfi 6y agoMDCD[0], an open source DOS archiver, used the .MD extension in 1988. [0] https://www.sac.sk/download/pack/mdcd10.zip https://www.sac.sk/download/pack/mdcd10.zip
- recursive 6y agoAll those years, people thought MS was hostile to open source, but their commitment was right there all along, in the GW-Basic code of conduct, with a link to their website too!
- flukus 6y agoI'm not familiar with modula but this doesn't appear to be a valid program ;) I think it wasn't until Vim 8 that the default for .md files became markdown.
- 4cao 6y ago.md is mentioned as an extension in the text/markdown RFC from March 2016: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7763 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7763 (Vim 8 was released in September of the same year.)

- tzs 6y agoAnother temporal anomaly is the license file. It's using the MIT license, but the timestamp is about 4 years before the MIT license existed.
- app4soft 6y agoIts not anomaly, just Orwell's "1984" as is.
