I am new and am keen on developing ReactOS. I looked through the source of ReactOS, there are only 13 Nasm files. A while ago (2 weeks I think) I mentioned RosAsm, it was shunned a bit though by some of the devs. Anyway, I would prefer to develop in RosAsm rather than Nasm, I know how you guys feel about it stealing your name but I prefer it to Nasm. (Syntax is cleaner)
So would it be possible for me to develop in RosAsm for ReactOS? It does run under ReactOS so it's just a case of your acceptance.
You're free to use any code editor you want as long as the code you submit can be compiled/assembled with our build system. All you need for that is a basic text editor, anything beyond is your choice. We don't care if you use RosAsm, Visual C++, Emacs, vi or notepad to write the code.
The reason we do not like RosAsm is that they more or less claim a relationship with ReactOS but there is none. It's yet another Win32 program that has nothing ReactOS specific nor is affiliated with ReactOS at all. We'd much prefer them to change their name.

Hard feelings aside (and sorry, the tone around here has become somewhat invective recently), we're generally reluctant to take more host software to build reactos. Also, software required to build reactos should generally be able to work in an unencumbered environment such as linux or freebsd. Several of us (and the build server) use linux to build reactos. We've even done some soul searching about, in my opinion, very safe choices like flex and bison and found them to be too much of a burden.

Not talking of the absurdity of the request, as long as RosAsm could, In no way, be of any use, as an Assembler, for doing what you may use an Assembler for: RosAsm is, exclusively, a development Environment for outputting PEs written entirely in Assembly. Really no relationship with a Multi-Purpose Assembler you could ever use aside any C.
Well, while I am at it, about the previous shocking absurdities:
FYI, RosASM is a non-approved, trademark-violating project that misrepresents itself as a ReactOS-funded/supported utility. ... As an attempt to gain some sort of credibility. The people behind it (betov& co) are well-known and hated among the professional ASM development community (most notably on the ASM newsgroups).
* RosAsm exist since September 1998. I started this Project the very First day I heard of ReactOS. This is to say, I never wrote one single Line for Windows, and I never used Windows any other way, but as A development platform, as long as ReactOS was not usable.
* RosAsm is developed collectively under GPL.
* We are not used to promote our Tool, and would we have intention to Do so, we would certainly not have suggested, with its name, that it was, in any way, devoted to an OS that does not exist, yet. "The Visual Assembler", or whatever such name would have been many Times more appropriated.
* The fact that our Assembler name is "RosAsm" expresses the flat fact That it is devoted to ReactOS. Period. This irritates Alex because he Hates me, and this is OK to me to irritates the very same individual, Who is implying that poor old Harmut was a dirty guy, having done something bad to reactOS, when leaving because of his conduct.
* If ReactOS is a virtually dead Project, because of the topic that all of you seem to carefully avoid and try to hide under the carpet, we (the RosAsm Project), will effectively have serious problems, and not only with its Name. See what I mean Alexey? ("Nothing has been found yet", "these are rumors", and so on...).

I can be wrong, but I think the solution followed by React's developers concerning that topic was the only one (out of the proposed ones) that can avoid ReactOS' death...
Really, there seems to be a lot less enthusiasm in this ML since all that discussion took place, but this isn't an indicative that "ReactOS is a virtually dead Project"...

I also would like to see V.1.0 up and living some other day, David. If not, I will have wasted ten years of my life for nope.
This is exactly the reason why I am questioning about the Audit conduct. Up to now, I never got any answer (not considering the standard propaganda)
My questions are flat and simple:
* Do the developers of a GPL Project have anything to hide?
* Why are NOT the offending Files listed in the public "Locked List".
* If the Files are hidden under the carpet, who will fix them and how?
* Can you imagine that, if I can point them out, MicroSoft will miss them, the day ReactOS will become a problem for their income?
* What is the mean for these outrageous bullshits saying that nothing has been found?
Betov.
Hello everyone. IMHO: i simply don't post anything for respect to the developers, i don't want to contribute anything in the ml until it has substantial importance.
Byes, my best regards to every1
