XPB! requires a mind-shift, because of its assembly flavor (including headers)
and I haven't done assembly in years: memory mapped printer driver for the Timex
ZX-80; corrected the toupper() and tolower() functions in the library of a C
compiler on a Radio Shack Color Computer (6809 at 0.8MHz, 64K and 2 double-sided
floppy drives ;-)
I've only compiled some of the sample apps. XPB! supports inline assembly and
it does create small, fast, stand-alone apps - unlike the 23meg download to
support .net applications.
