         US PUBLIC SCHOOL AC STILL   
     CONTROLLED BY AMIGA FROM THE 80S   
   *************************************   
      
   -- Grand Rapids, Mich.  - Public schools in Grand Rapids have an   
   air-conditioning system that is controlled by digital technology from early   
   1980's, according to the local Michigan WoodTV.  Since it was installed to   
   regulate the school's air-cooling and heating, the Commodore Amiga personal   
   computer has worked perfectly.

   Antique Code Show Let's state one fact clearly from the start:  for all its   
   virtues, Shadow of the Beast did not play especially well.  Its often   
   half-baked platform action appeared promising at first, but was let down   
   ultimately by having no game-save positions, a frustratingly high   
   difficulty level, and a general lack of fair and progressive gameplay.   
      
   Yet Shadow of the Beast still rates as one of the Amiga's most important   
   titles, principally because it must have sold thousands of Commodore's   
   dearly loved machines all by itself.

          DECOMPILER TECHNOLOGIES   
              By Jeremy Smith   
   *************************************   
      
   www.decompiler.org/   
      
   Decompiler Technologies was founded in 2003 by Jeremy Smith to capitalise   
   on technology first thought of in 1998.   
      
   We focused on decompiling VB5 and VB6 programs, and had a lot of business   
   between 2004 and 2005.  Also, a VB5/VB6 program is x86, so we could   
   decompile x86 (DOS/Windows/Linux), too.   
      
   In 2011, after a delay in development, we ported the 6502 processor, which   
   means we could now decompile 6502 programs.   
      
   In June 2015, after abandoning another project, I re-focused on my   
   decompiler, calling it RevEngE.   
      
   The first thing I did was tidy up loads of bugs, add new features, and do   
   things to make the decompiled code better.   
      
   The thing I'm most proud of (which has been there since 2005) is the   
   complete elimination of register assignments.  You'll see these in other   
   decompilers, e.g.:   
      
   d7 = "hello world"   
   d0 = d7   
   print d0   
      
   In RevEngE, this would be:   
      
   print "hello world"   
      
   At the most basic level.   
      
   There are a few special variables so that registers never need to be there:   
      
   * BLocal - Branch local   
   * LLocal - Loop local   
   * FLocal - Function local   
   * SLocal - Stack local   
      
   That covers it!   
      
   Then on the 28th August, after 3 days work, I ported the 68000 processor,   
   which means we can decompile Amiga, Atari ST, Macintosh and Sinclair QL   
   programs, not to mention numerous arcade games.  (see   
   www.decompiler.org/revenge/68k.htm for the 68k sample).   
      
   The CPU abstraction means that you have a fixed subset of opcodes that are   
   the same between CPUs.   
      
   The basic idea is:  All CPU opcodes that fit are already dealt with.  For   
   example:  'OP_MOVE' is STA($acc,arg) in 6502, and move eax,ebx in x86.   
      
   Any that can't be dealt with are turned into a function with args taken   
   (usually) from registers.  For instance, SEI (set inhibit flag) in 6502,   
   and STOSD which takes arguments from basically, edx and ecx.  (x86).   
      
   The great point about this abstraction?  Well, say in a 6502 subroutine,   
   you spot that it's jumping backwards.  The solution is found and   
   implemented.  Now, the jump backwards is fixed for 6502, 68000, Z-machine   
   AND x86.   
      
   The other great point is you can port a new CPU in a week!!   
      
   Now, the Google ranking for Decompiler Tech, search query for "6502   
   decompiler" is there on page 1, and "68000 decompiler" is also on the front   
   page for that query.  The problem is I haven't had any emails from this,   
   assuming people searched for those terms and saw my page.   
      
   I emailed a guy who does C= Plus4 conversions, and he said he didn't see   
   any need for a 6502 decompiler.   
      
   So I'll be blunt as to what I want:  I want someone to pay me $150 for a   
   fully enabled copy of the 6502 decompiler, and save themselves over 20   
   hours of work, thus that $150 pays for itself.  Then I'll crack open the   
   champagne.   
      
   About saving time:  Basically, the decompiler does about 99% of the work,   
   and all the reverse engineer has to do is figure out names for the   
   variables.  And if there is a problem (that 1%), it's easy to spot and,   
   looking at the original assembly code, fix it by hand.   
      
   $150 is peanuts compared to what other decompilers cost.  One costs   
   multiples more and doesn't even output as good code as RevEngE.  Just look   
   out for those registers as an example of an ineffective decompiler!   
      
   "A question is:  Does the decompiler really work?  The answer is that it   
   works a lot more times than it fails, and thus could be said to be a 99%   
   probability that it REALLY WORKS, which are pretty good odds."   
      
   "Also, are the assumptions about assembly language correct?  Well, the   
   assumptions leading to register elimination have held up sufficiently that   
   any problem is due to a bug in the code.

      HAPPY PROGRAMMING ON THE C16/+4   
              By John Fielden   
   *************************************   
      
   Well, having made me a middle age resolution, and sending off the article   
   effort for Issue 90.  I got around to reading issue 88 at long last (of   
   Commodore Free magazine).  I was getting quite engrossed in several   
   articles.  Particularly catching my eye this time were the last three or   
   four very excellent reads.   
      
   The eBay Amiga, The Commodore History in particular and also the very   
   excellent article about Programming in BASIC, subtitled "A root canal with   
   no anaesthetic".  Made me somewhat grateful to be on Diazepam and Tramadol   
   to try and alleviate the sciatica (You should see the bruise, it's a   
   beauty!  -though might be bordering on porn if I tried to send it!) Anyhow   
   my mind wandered to a game about a canal, then I thought "isn't a root   
   canal something to do with the ear?" and my mind went to the stuff I buy   
   from the chemist for my own hard wax issue.  I was floating around the room   
   wondering how all this could be put into some kind of game.
