A sad, sad day for me (and BES).

[SuiPsySof]

First and foremost, thank you all for your much appreciated feedback. That is exactly what I wanted and needed. I received a lot of feedback from all 4 or 5 forums this topic was listed on. After a couple of weeks thinking about what everyone has said and also about what is best for me right now, I have sadly decided to discontinue this project until further notice. I really hate to do this because, for me, it is admitting failure. But I don't believe I have a choice. Work and school are only becoming more time consuming (especially school) and the pressure and stress of it all has builded to no end. Something must get pushed to the side, and unfortunately, it is BES. I really loved programming it and I hate to quit. But it is wrong for me to keep hoping and dreaming it will be done and that is not fair to the TI community.


Lastly, some of the features I was trying to incorporate were either A) Someone else has already incorporated those into another shell (like Kerm Martian with DoorsCS...no offense Kerm, love what you've done with the shell) or B) Some people think it makes the shell 'cluttered' or they think it is not needed. Unfortunately, it seems my dream (to finish BES, the ASM version) has been washed away by the waves of time and may possibly never return to the sandy beach where it belonged. I am sorry to anyone who counted on me for this, but you must understand, it is what is best for me and the community (because I will no longer be getting anyone's hopes up or anything like that). Again, I am sorry, but this is what I must do.

Good luck and I will be checking in from time to time to say hello or maybe help out with some ASM or something. Keep in touch. I am also willing to help out BASIC programmers who need an 'ASM function' (which basically just controls something in ASM that BASIC just cannot do). Since those don't take much time, I can probably squeeze them in here and there. Just drop me an e-mail (defenestrator85@aol.com). Thanks and sorry again.
