Apology to Nick

A code review would have suggested a REPEAT...UNTIL loop rather than a GOTO.

In BASIC on a Commodore Pet?

Are you still wet behind the ears?

If you can't POKE it or PEEK it, it aint a real language! ;-)

Err, you know that they're BASIC commands, don't you?


Yeah, thought you did...

What? Like these other BASIC Commands?

BEEP BEEP USR NOT BRIGHT
PRINT NOT BRIGHT
POKE CHURCHILL THEN CONTINUE

What does that one do then?

Not seen it before, but when you run it, it returns the output

10 FOR i = 1 to 10
20 POKE CHURCHILL
30 NEXT

It returns

"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"
"F**K Off Seriously!"

HTH

HTH

That's because POKE has 2 parameters...

Hi Nick,

please no offense, apologies for the teasing about the look and feel in IE6.

I am sure you have worked hard on these project inside the defined goals as laid out by the PM and achieved the priorities.

Please take no offense at anything I am saying about this.

If you want a laugh, go on the 'What a Mess'¨thread and look at the picture of it in IE6, it does look funny.

All in good spirit.

Milan.

What an arse licker!

atw must be getting jealous - you're normally cleaning his hole whenever he posts a 'ska news' thread.
