But since this dum college class uses only measly little DOS boxes, and all I got in languages is QBASIC in DOS, and C++etc... on Linux, I am either stuck using terminally depressing QBASIC(not bad for little stuff but...) or I have to write stuff to play with at home on my Linux box, and than change or basically rewrite stuff for the DOS boxes. Mostly it's programs to draw fractals etc.. so i just have to chang the grafix parts and a few other things in a few cases. -- You're eqipped with a hundred billion nueron brain, that's wired and fired, and it's a reality generating device, but you've got too do it.
