the robotradio program is coming along. It plays. it dances. it sings.
IT selects random libraries and random broadcast files. and it restarts
itself with consummate ease. Aka, NOW wtf?!? Jim is exchanging letters
with me on this, but does not yet have a solution.
Here's the code of the hour: BEWARE WORD WRAP!!!
