    No prob.

    Little netiquette tip: In your replies, include a portion of the original message (a.k.a., "quoting") so that everyone knows what your responding to, especially if the reply comes a couple days or more later.

    Good advice. A portion. Not the full text. Unless it's short.

    Some people quote the full text of a long message and add a brief reply.
    When the first screen is all quoted text, I skip to the next message. No
    time for lazy quoters.

    Most BBS people are nice to meet. But you may encounter ill behaved
    bullies who think they run some kind of clique. Don't let them bother
    you. They're not your boss. There's only one boss on Dovenet. Digital
    Man.

    Pardon the long quote.

    Two of your lines made the first page. You hit it just right.

    LOL. That's me with C++ OOP abstractions. Plain C was easier.

    My only experience with C was a program called C- - .

    Played with that program a little bit many years ago but forgot how to use it.

    My first PC was a C=64, and I got familiar with BASIC.
    Played with LEGO for a while.
    Read books about ML but I'm not a coder.

    Read books about ML

    It's a menial job but somebody has to do it.

    Yes, C-- was a program I found on a CD that Prodigy and nternet service had on it.
    After running it I read the Help File and played with it a few days.

    I think I ran it on my Windows 3.1 / DOS 5.0 486 computer years ago.

    Thanks for mentioning Wikipedia had a C-- page,
    I went and read that page and logged back on here to write this Reply.

    I thought so but you said you're not a coder so I wasn't sure.
