- This area is for the discussion of good BASIC programming along with the
- how to accomplish your programming goals. You can contribute to this

- old programming prejudice/flaw. Or...
-
- We hope for a spirited, argumentative conference; though deplore personal
- attacks and will vehemently react to such discourtesy. However, attacks

- that, don't contribute a new snippet.
