Five .asm files sat at the top of Programs/ beside six directories, with
nothing to say which a new file should join - and hello.asm, which is the
native assembler's first target and named in sixteen places, looked like a
stray.
Programs/
Examples/ what you read to learn: hello, printHello, inputTest,
replCalculator, and Fibonacci, primeSieve and gameOfLife
as sets of their own
Libraries/ included by name, no entry point of their own
Loader/ loader.asm, and the loadable program it reads
CosmOS/ the system, its applications and its assembler
testPrograms/ what 'make test' drives
Loader/ is the one worth explaining. loader.asm is not a demonstration: it
reads a program off a disk, puts the two pieces where the header asks, and
jumps to the entry. CosmOS grew out of it and does the same thing as one of
its commands. It is kept because backward compatibility with the simplest
version of the system is a standing goal, and it was sitting loose next to
the demos as though it were one.
Programs/loadable/ was a directory holding one file called hello.asm - a
third thing of that name, and the name said nothing about why it was there.
It is Loader/loadable.asm now, beside the loader that reads it.
Every reference moved with them: the makefile's program list, twelve
manifest lines, makedisks.sh, native.sh, and four paths across the README
and both manuals. Verified by deleting both build directories and running
the whole suite from nothing.
