Sure. My 4.77Mhz floppy based systems are going to do well with this. Let's not speculate. There are lots of different use cases out there. Loading and executing a program 15 times to do some simple string manipulation is slow and painful on a low end system. You would do faster to type it in by hand using edlin. Even on a fast system it is still much slower than it should be. Cordata's program seems reasonable. I would get rid of the multiple printfs at the end and just use a large block quote. Somebody who uses WATTCP might want to step up, test it, and see if there are any bugs. Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
