nand2tetris.zip archive is missing project 08 .vm code

[dlk]

The zip archive is missing the vm code that needs to be translated into assembly in project 08.

The code is available from http://www.nand2tetris.org/08.php in pop-up windows, so the problem isn't
insurmountable, but it's awkward to cut and paste from the windows, and on my OS/browser combination I lose the line breaks when I do so.  It would be more convenient if the code was provided in the .zip file.

For a few of the .vm examples such as FibonacciSeries.vm (which should be, but is not, in projects/08/ProgramFlow/FibonacciSeries/), it would be a useful exercise for the student to write the .vm file, if a good enough description of what the program should do were provided.  So, providing such a description of the file in the zip file or even on the Web page would be an alternative.

Hi,

It looks like I picked up my copy  on October 7.  Good to know that it has been fixed!
Thanks,

Hi,

One minor note: in the new nand2tetris.zip that I downloaded today,
the first comment line of

  projects/08/FunctionCalls/SimpleFunction/SimpleFunction.vm

is

/ This file is part of www.nand2tetris.org

i.e. it is missing one forward slash.
