Tom,
I own a PS3 as well. I'm curious to know which games you have for the
system? perhaps if we both have a title we can play online sometime!

Hi Jim,
I wouldn't be a bit suprised. Dos and Linux shared many of the same
commandline applications back in those days. It was much easier to
create cross-platform applications like lynx, sox, pine, ncftp, etc
than it is today. Today programming is more complicated because
instead of printing tex
vil and 3D.
Obviously though this isn't right for the audeasy list, so appologies
to everyone else.
Beware the grue!

Very interesting story. The first game I ever wrote was a Blackjack
