ok, maybe this isnt a good question for here, but im sure maybe one
of you knows what im talking about...

in a lot of these tabloid magazines you see ads like:

'fix your credit history! send xx dollars to...'

im just wondering what 'fixing' entails and if anyone knows how to
do this. it seems like any pud off the street who can put an ad in
the enquirer can do this, so why can't i?

obhack: not really a hack, but an example of the lack of knowledge around
me.  we're working with static queues in modula-2.  the class was debating
on how to increment a pointer the the front or back so at the top of the
queue's n places, it would skip back down to 0. they did something like:

IF top = 8 THEN
  top = 0
ELSE
  INC(top)
END;

where i just did top := (top+1)MOD8....
