Time off?? You're done???

I made an "emergency backup" version of my animation this weekend.  It's
quite buggy, and I hope I have time to complete all my scene fixes before
the deadline! Less than 104 hours to go!

Yes, oddly enough; I usually am uploading my entry about a day before
the deadline.

...and I got it to run on the first try. Now I'm going to have to
print out your program description and see if I can get anything
useful out of it...

    If folks take the time to read the Windows installation (98 at
least, likely all of them) disk they will be directed to a goodies
directory that is not installed with Windows. QBASIC 1.1 is there along
with a few other "useless" things like filecomp and such. After all we
wouldn't want to confuse people with technical things.

I never uninstalled it to begin with. I have had a .bas directory
off of my c: root ever since I started using a computer and that
is where qbasic.exe is stored. In fact the c:\bas directory is
still in my autoexec path statement :)

No, in a self extracting compressed file format that they developed 
themselves. :-)

*Anyone* can compile stuff in their heads.  A real programmer can
*decompile* stuff in their head.
