There was one other (cant remeber his name or the web links) who did all the coding for the first product MS Basic written in assembly. There too in order to get some added functionality Bill forced the coder to write a loop that overwrote parts of program mem (or some such kludge). The tradition of forced kludging continues with numerous stories of Bill's personal involvement. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
