You might well wish this. I will not comply. I try to keep to USENET norms of minimal quotes and at least 50% new content. If you have trouble, you should choose a newsreader that easily permits ascending threads. Most do. You might also consider including more context in your postings rather than eliding it with pronouns.

I did notice this. Mildly reminiscent of a Linux kernel config.

It musten't be a very persistant or powerful idea.

Why should a rebuild increase error? If they are independant builds, then the chance is the same each time. Only if they're chained or somehow sequential do errors accumulate.

I have no idea of what a .REL might be, but if it's only built once, then the error can only occur once. If it's continually chained and rebuilt, then errors add.

I do program in buttembly. However, I'm not entirely satisfied with the available x86 debugging tools. What features do EDDT have? I presume they have the usual features of code & data breakpoints and a mini-buttembler.

Is that still running on currently available hardware. Can a licence be purchased for One Dollar?

So, only Multics? IBM certainly had money, and many licences have "flow-back" provisions wherein user improvements become vendor licenceable.

On both these scores, Microsoft ought to do very well. But it appears they don't listen well. Linux does extremely well on the latter and listens well, but not so well on the former.
