If you use OpenOffice, people with Macs, Linux boxes, and Solaris machines
will then also be able to use it.  Clearly Windows has the greatest market
share though.

Kudos for donating something like this to the community.

 Even tho no one speaks plain English i think i understand.

Yous Guys are saying you are not running windows.

Possibly you can convert my source code to whatebver you want.

Source code is plain english and can be compiles for whatever machine.

You just need to convert my bas to C++ or whatever
then compile it for your own machine.

I stll make the free offer to play with my program
but i will not ram it down anyones throat.
You can have it or not as you please
just send me a personal email requesting it
and the entire code will be yours as an attachment
self extracting (EXE) RAR SFX file.
No guarantees except it works fine on my own
machines.

I do not even have to like any of you
to share it, I just want you to enjoy
playing with it if you are so inclined.

Windows is a special purpose thing for the rich.
Which I am not.
I need tools that are essentially unlimited like the human mind itself.
Now if only I could get the detailed banking details and passwords and
access codes for all my enemies.
That's the real problem today.
Programming various hardware add ons any way you want to.
The only subjective thing I practice or art or
whatever is scientific or mathematical in nature
and not a power thing to control people.
Windows is a power thing used to control people
and while robbing them blind. It is not a
general purpose kind of programming.
I need no human laws to govern my personal life.
That's how I see the Windows program.
Anyone with a PC and the right OS should be able to use your programs
and not just Windows peoples.
I really really like the concept of no
power above the individual level.
No gods or devils allowed.
Things like Windows are the devil for myself.
You need Windows to do Windows.
Or so i understand.
With this compiler All i need is notepad
and an understanding of the code to write
whatever comes to mind.
And it should run on any 32 bit or 64 bit PC type machine as an
executable binary, interpreted shell script or 4GL file.

The computer world is full of cowards
not willing to run other peoples OS's.

Are you one of those too ??

 LOL I just installed Fedora 10 onto my
machine the other day and still
had a devil of a time making it work.

I think Id have to spend several years dedicated
to Fedora before Id ever like it.

Windows however much you do not like it
is by far the best public user friendly OS out there.

I use both DOS and Windows.
Hide One partition and show the other.
Thats how I boot from one to the other.

No special boot loaders or anything.

Just patition magic 8 to swap partitions
like DOS622 and Win98SE/or Win XP.

Win VISTA requires NTFS so I cant share
VIsta With Anything but XP.

I would really like to see DOS
for a modern machine.
It is the best for science because
you can dedicate the whole machine
to but a single program.

I agree that Microsoft is a bully.

BUt consider National Security before you blame
only Microsoft. If William Gates did not play up to
national security the USA would never let him be a billionaire in the first
place.
