Subject: How Do You Make Programs For A Dedicated Machine?

Hello to everyone I met in Paris - it was a very enjoyable event to
visit - much more fun than a human chess tournament. Everyone was very
nice and pleasant, and very willing to discuss their programs and games
in progress.

My question is, how do you go about writing a program for a dedicated
Chess Computer?

I can't believe programmers use the machine code for the processor
they're working on.

On the other hand, if you build the program on a PC in C, and then
compile it for the processor, I can foresee all sorts of problems:
things like architecure differences, amount of memory, control of LCDs
and LEDs, possible changes in hardware specifications by the
manufacturer, and so on.

Let us in on the secrets, please. How is it done?
