Turbo Pascal was my first introduction to programming in College. Now don't
get me wrong - I'm no programmer, I just did what had to be done in College
and Uni. (Pascal, C, Java and C++) but one thing I liked about Turbo Pascal,
which I've been looking for in VBScript with no such luck, was the gotoxy()
function. Great for column-type output. Where has the functionality gone??
<g>

As for NetBIOS programming I admire you older programmers - you really had
to write code. Nothing nice and easy like try {} catch, etc. now ;-)

As for assembler...well, that just astounds me.

Can you read binary??? <g>

Well, we wrote much of it in Assembler but Turbo Pascal
was also popular -- then later in C.  I believe I still have
my "C Programmer's Guide to Netbios" around here somewhere.
And I just found it listed on Amazon (used) for 98 cents <grin>
By the time we got that book we had been doing it for a while
but it seemed so cool to actually have a book on the subject.
You may not remember when a visit to the bookstore would
turn up maybe 10 books in the computer "section".
(Two or three of the ten would be in ForTran.)
