especially the ability to write your own help, macros, and keyboard
maps, and then write them back into the EXE, resulting in one compact
executable to keep track of.
I remember that one too. But my favorite was the full C compiler (no,
not a subset) that ran on the Z80. Others had said it couldn't be
done. Came on 2 (IIRC) 8" floppies. I wish I could remember the
company name, but my memory is getting old along with the rest of me.
And my favorite computer error message was from a Fortran compiler
written for the GE400 computers by Charley ... (damn memory). The
message was:
"The compiler has gotten lost - there are a myriad of possible reasons."
Still makes me chuckle :-).
