Ok. Fine. Putting form-feeds in the code may make sense to you. There are just a few problems with this. Namely, the V7 compiler would barf on an illegal character, if you two column your output using pr(1) (to save paper...) pr dies horrible deaths on the form-feed character, you infuriate me because I (sometimes) like to have my printout two column. 2. DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME HOW TO WRITE MY CODE!!!! I'LL MESS IT UP IN MY OWN WAY, THANK YOU!!!!
