To me this looks so overly complicated. If only there was a simple zip file link ... Yes, this seems like a much simpler way (IMO highly recommended ) And easier to keep older versions of zip files in a backup archive. No need for yet another external file (fossil, and its friends) just to download things. It also brings back control to me with what I want to place on my HDD with folder names I choose.

Another problem with these evil auto-downloaders is convincing them to use my VPN and/or proxy. One can never be sure if they will work in the proper way with my networking setup.

I also see this with the HLL Linux stuff. So much complication for such a simple task of downloading something.

Hehe, I'm also allergic to installers. They never do what I want and always put their nonsense in places that don't make sense in my file organisation. I then have to spend a few minutes cleaning up the mess and reorganising things so they work correctly.

Revolution, version control systems really make the life easyer. In particular, fossil is one of the simplest one ever made.

- I am working at least on 3 computers, placed on different places - at home, at work and in my parents home. To keep all work in sync and to manage all changes using zips is really very hard. I know this because I used them (and flash drives) before I found fossil.

- I can provide link to downloadable .zip file. Or you can find it in the repository if you try.
But this zip file will be really useless for the code that is changed ten times a day. For example, working on this CMS, I made a lot of changes in FreshLib. So, you simply can't compile today's MiniMagAsm with yesterday's FreshLibDev.
Of course, when I manage to make it more or less stable I will release some MiniMagAsm.zip but not during active work.

- You really have to try this "fossil" version control system. It is the simplest one on the market. Very useful peace of software.
And no installers at all.

- The use of version control system have meaning only if you want to follow the development process closely. Otherwise it is meaningless at all. Simply wait for the release version.

I assume you've never use Git before. Heheh.
Fossil is simpler (and takes less space). If you're on Windows, just grab the zip file (no installer needed):

The nice thing about VCS (version control system) is you just download the whole source code once (in the beginning), and later every time you sync it, the download size is way smaller than the initial download. No need to download zip files. Comparing changes is easy.

I use VCS on my work quite a lot.
Of course, this may or may not suit your work style.

Here is attached simple web server with CGI support (rewritten from NASM to FASM), going to add SCGI and FastCGI and need to asynchronous model

XVilka, it is great we have prototype server! But it crash on my machine (andLinux) on address $80484ca.

Yeah, I know about crash, looks like I've made some error while refactoring/translating. Hope I'll find it today.

Well, I managed to fully implement the CMS menu system. Now it works almost exactly as planned.
Check how it works on: http://asm32.hopto.org
Changes are committed to the repository.

For now I insert the documents as a plain text. The next task is to implement document parser.

The most interesting part is that the binary "index.cgi" is smaller than the original "index.php" engine (8..9KB binary vs 17KB .php source).

Really nice work

I have a sugestion in term of desing of the webpage.
Dont make the main table full size.

Because it put a lot off white space beetween the content and the menu bar for monitors with high resolution ( above 1024x726)
(Here i have 1280 pixels width, and I see 300px column of white space)

If you make the table center align with a witdth about 900px it would look better i think.

Enko, the size of the table is managed by the css file. This "width=100%" is mistake and it does not work actually, because the CSS override it.
The problem with the wide screens is, well, the text becomes too wide and becomes not readable. That is why I limit the width of the whole site to 800px.
The one of the solutions is to make the text column formated (as in the newspapers), but I am not very sure about the result.

I will make some experiments though.

Its definitly not 800px.

If you overrided the table class, its not working.
Here how I see it on 1280x1024

(chrome and ie6)


I think this is the error.

I tried this way and it works.

I got it. The text on the screenshot is preformated text file. It have fixed width and that is why it is on the left.
This text is there only temporary, as a substitute, until I implement the proper formating engine. So, be patient, I am almost ready.

I don't know why WebKit doesn't support max-width style. It works in Firefox, but not in WebKit browsers and as you state, not in IE. Maybe it is non-standard or something.
Anyway, I will try to make the layout multicolumn.

OK, I just uploaded one of the experimental versions on the server.
Check with bigger document and with small one

The document parser and formater is not finished yet, so the text may look not very good sometimes.

Now on screen 1024x it looks normal with ONE column text.

But with higher resolution 1280, it show the text in TWO columns, like a newspaper.
(chrome and IE with 1280px width)

Well I used IE6, you almost shouldn't care about it, but I tried Chrome with same effect before.

It is intentional. Do you think it is not good?

I like the way it looks, like a newspaper.
This way you fight great with wide screens.

The second column is a bit higer than the first.

Strange, but on my notebook, I see one column. Resolution 1366x720 wide screen.
But on work, with 1280x1024 I can see two columns. (its not wide screen)

I just uploaded some design changes. IMHO, now it is even better.
Check it with some big enough article: for example - this
It is in Bulgarian language, but it contains old and incorrect information, so accept it as a "lorem ipsum" text.

1366x720 wide screen.
On firefox and chrome:
http://i46.tinypic.com/34h8gu1.jpg

should I see two columns? Little bit later, I could try with my work pc with 1280x1024

Ah, it is my fault. I made it on 1920 monitor and set the column width too big. Check it now. It should split on 1366 and 1280 as well.
If you resize the browser window to smaller width, the text should become one column only.

Checked with 1280, its looks much better than befor.
I can't read bulgarian thus its similar to russian, but I do understand now where to start reading and where to continue.
Then I tried with the english article and it redered perfectly.



Its a great Idea for viewing the documentation. I like it more than msdn.

Perhaps it would be good if you add a link like "continue" at the end of the first column, so it redirects to the upper second column. Just like "↥"
