NaDa can work for you, too!

NaDa™ is a new concept. A thought, really. It is very light: 1 byte. It doesn't take long to fetch. It doesn't take long to understand. It doesn't disturb your habits nor does it makes you feel insecure. It is a reassuring piece of software that does nothing, and does it very well. That's a lot!

I wonder what value that 1 byte has. More importantly, I wonder if someone were to tell me what the value of the first (only) byte in the file is, would that be reverse-engineering the product?

I think the smallest executable you can have would have to be 2 or 4 bytes, so I don't think NaDa would "run" on my computer. From what I remember of assembly, the shortest ever program would be 01 RTN. On the other hand the longest-running program would be 01 JMP 01 but that would definitely have to be 4 bytes at least since it has a relative pointer.

hmm
