PLEASE NOT BASIC!! Basic forces you to build something sans data strcutures, sans control structures, pure vomit. Use somthing that lets you THINK about the problem, not that you are running out of space to the next line number... And what was that variable for??? Even if you are going to implement in assembler (ESPECIALLY if you are going to implement in assembler!!) you should have the concept and the algorithm right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BASIC clouds the issue so severley that you wont be able to do it. Real men use 4th generation languages... seismo!unido!ztivax!david
