Actually, I think it was written in assembly and that's why it crashes the machine. :-) :-) :-) Seriously, if you're going to criticize languages for being slow, don't waste your time with C. There are plenty of slower, less portable, and less powerful languages (like Modula-2 and BASIC). Better yet, attack poorly written programs in _any_ language: programs that assume you have a certain processor, programs that don't work with hard disks, programs that bypass the OS, programs that rely on the fact that you have a PAL or NTSC machine, etc. -- =----------------Logan-Shaw---(lshaw@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu)----------------= "A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right...You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping" - C.
