program, back in... well, don't remember the year, but I
first saw it running at 1200 baud. It actually is more fun
to watch at slower speeds. Written for uniData BASIC, but
pretty generic code that should compile on other platforms.

Chandru can tell you that Ken Simms & I did have a reputation for an
alternative work ethic.
I remember once Ken & I were on a fieldtrip to the 17481 Redhill
building and we ran into Max Malone (Our Big Boss, VP Software) in the
hall. He remarked, "There's a pair to draw to" -- meaning a pair of
goof-offs (writing games). Oh well, *** didn't think much of game
software either. It's a good thing nothing ever came of computer
games.
What a great life I've lived! (that's #28, I think Pauline).
I don't recall the code segment under discussion and that's saying a
lot since I was one of the few in those days not stoned, drunk or
surfing (pre-internet term) everyday.
Love to all,
Johnny B.
