Quick Basic has "been around" for a long time too, so I can imagine it being a
good environment to program in/with.  also had not known there are Mac and Linux
versions, will try in the coming days to have a look at options wrt Debian.

also had not seen a '.qoi' (format) file before :-), and don't think it has been
discussed/considered yet.  good info, thanks !


regards, jr.
