10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
Basic?
@Ellico2020bis LOL I just went to see if my old Basic programming text was still around - can't find it but did find this
@NorthernInvader I don't seem to have the image of my personal copy handy, but the best programming text ever was "A FORTRAN Coloring Book"
@Ellico2020bis I needed the batch file book for working on my old BBS back in the early 90s. Damn .bat file printed out to IIRC 12 pages :)
@NorthernInvader I never dealt with a bat file that long, even on DEC VMS! I first used the FORTRAN book on a PDP-8, while still in elementary school.
@Ellico2020bis Well my BBS was connected to about 6 other BBS networks and getting it to dial them up at regular times to exchange netmail and game updates (I had quite a few games on it that were played over the various star networks I was connecting to), then process everything was (for me) a bit of challenge.
I ran it first on a Packard Bell 386 SX16 16MHz processor, 1MB of RAM and 120MB HDD. given everything I ran on it at the time I ran into a number or IRQ conflicts
@NorthernInvader Did you have an 8-bit SoundBlaster?
SET BLASTER=A220 I4 D1
@Ellico2020bis Yes - and it was the source of a few of those conflicts IIRC
