BB>Hello Sylvain, let's keep this short :)
BB> DB> How dare you call me a slut! :) I imagine you meant to say salut?
BB> SL> I wonder why english people complain about this word.
BB> SL> Maybe it has a different sense?
BB>     In english a "slut" is a woman who is perceived to have casual

BB>     What does it mean in the language of your area of the earth, Sylvain?
I would take it as a typo where he really meant to say salut. Which is french
for hi or some other similar greeting. (not sure if it's salut or salute)

PS: Remember waay back, when I posted that BIG Hi,World program? It used
    the BIOS's ROM font to print out large letters. You suggested trying
    a scroller or other type of banner program. Well, I managed to make
    a tiny VGA scroller program with it, though in C. Now all I need to do
    is to try and write that in ASM! :)
