Dear akeane I must defer to your judgement on this, however, I do think your code is quite elegant, also clean and compact. (By the way did they make some new rule that the code must also work ??? I may have been napping.
Anyway as I feel your work is much more important than anything I am doing here, I am sending along my Atari 1200xl and TRS80, in hopes you can network them together with the c64 and proceed with your work. Only problem is that the only cardboard box I have is serving as my computer case. Be patient help is on the way! (Your post brought back many good memories and I laughed almost to the point of incontinence . Take care my friend.
