Alas, over a sixty-year career I have had to get a rudimentary knowledge of MAD (Michigan Algorithm Decoder) Fortran (with decks of cards punched on an O29 console), Basic & True Basic (a Kemeny product - my favorite).

I reached a brick wall with True Basic when I could not get any form of scrolling to work on the PC-AT that I was using at the time (ca. 1998). The PC-AT had none of the graphics capabilities of an Apple product.

There is a slim chance I can retrieve my original media for True Basic (intended for MS-DOS) and install that with the aide of Wine. Trisquel flidas has Basic-256, an educational form of Basic, so I'll start with that.

I'm more than fifty years rusty in any form of programming.

What currently stumps me is that I'd like to post-process the output of your all-in-one-step script by using its output file of IPv6 addresses (a list by substituting "-N 3072" for "-N 786432" to just 256 lines, but I cannot get past that echo command with something like "cat DPv6-file.txt ..." That appears to put two & three
digit hexadecimals into the fields.
