<apologize>Tom, sorry, sent it private to ya, my bad ;) here's a copy for the
list </apologize>
As I said in my e-mail, I've got a tape reader, and the tape for it ;)
And after writing that little "trip down memory lane" I found my punch
card reader..... Now I'm actually contemplating writing a mud that'll run
on nothing but punchcards ;) WHY????? Cause it sounds interesting, and
it'd be one of those things that could be submitted to like a "mud museum" or
somethin ;) Just would be funny to write something that uses that old of
technology, then chuckle at these people who can't figure out what sprintf does
or somethin (even though there are a 1000+ examples infront of their face)
Who knows, might be something interesting to try out.....
And if I run out of punchcards, I'll just redo the whole thing on milar, I've
got a couple
thousand feet of that lieing around.... (and I wont have to worry about
misplacing a card ;) )
