Greetings and felicitations Pat,
 NT> (OK so I'm a pauper already )
 PP> Hey..if you have a wife and kids, I can easily identify with funding
 PP> problems.
I'm not quite that (un)fortunate, just that ageism is legal in the UK
and I've got grey hair (the first one (grey hair) appeared when I was
19 :-( ).
 PP> using The Draw.
 NT> Ooooh - nasty .  But you have to admit that it was tiny :-).
 PP> Yes...it was tiny.
 NT> for more response from this, ah well never mind.  By the way, how are
 NT> you at drawing bunnies (easter anyone?), or hearts (st. valentine's
 NT> day).
 PP> Dunno, I'm not much into graphics. I remember a great bunny that
 PP> Brian Roche did with mostly just the circle command, but lost that bit
 PP> of code in a HD fiasco. I see that Brian is posting to
 PP> comp.lang.basic.misc. So...at least he's still around.
Hmmmm, can't say that I've come across that one in all the old code
and ancient messages that I've got laying around here.  Talking about
people who've been around a long time, I recently got a file called QB
tidbits and in amongst it I found a reply to a message from someone
who is still active in this echo.  See below and look at that date!

Subject: Re: Sorting
 NT> solid with shading and shadows SCREEN 7 3D demo called solid5.bas.  It
 NT> was written by Rich Geldreich in 1992 so most people in here won't
 NT> have seen it. Even though it is not my code, but I was wondering if I
 NT> could post it in here. The major problem with it is that when it has
 NT> been filtered with postit, it consists of 10 messages.  Please reply
 NT> soon on this.
 PP> Sounds interesting, and although it's a bit large, I'll allow it. As
 PP> far as the quickness of my replies, you and others should be aware that
 PP> I can't call Long Distance everyday for the echo, not and keep peace
 PP> with my wife, so...if there is some delay, that is the reason.
Thanks, I've posted it at the same time as this.  Because its in VGA
and I remember how galling it is to see code you can't use, I've also
posted a small program that I found in my wanderings.  It's in CGA and
is similar to the magic eye stuff that was recently (i.e. in the last
5 years) available to buy, but pre-dates it by quite a bit.  See my
message to all about crossed eyes.
Oh by the way, as I never use tag-lines on my messages (its not part
of my style), I thought I'd try a signature file instead.  While its
not quite finished yet, I thought I would see what you thought and ask
if its legal as far as the rules go.  I haven't as yet included it on
any of my messages previously so this is the first outing that it has
had.  Well, this way I don't get flamed by the mod if it contravenes
rule 47 subsection 9 paragraph 7 or somesuch of the rules .
Byeee, Nigel.
