Yo whom it may concern:
Can I get this newsletter in and individual email instead of the digest??
Allan Hoppel
Have a great day
PS What is the easiset way to learn basic? Is Visual Basic and good place to
start?
I am eager to learn Basic so that I can get FreeDos and be able to program in
it and also learn Pascal!
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
