The code was too unreadable to be debugged. Hmmmm. I ported it to the Commodore Amiga with almost no trouble. Pretty much compile-and-run. And I thought the code was actually pretty "readable;" I had little trouble understanding what I needed to. The fact that this is so little source code makes it much easier to understand (hey, I have written compilers twice that size in less than two months!). -- Christopher Lishka 608-262-4485 "Dad, don't give in to mob mentality!"
