But it's in GW Basic, it WON'T work in Qbasic at all. If you have an old computer around the house you might be able to get GW Basic from that, or if you have an old IBM computer it would also work in Basic A. If I recall correctly, in GWbasic you need to remember the command SYSTEM to quit GWbasic. You'd need to put the caps lock on for the program too. It's a very very weak program, probably not worth the effort. From 1980. Pete
