   Could you be off by a magnitude?  If you are the rest could be
   rounding...... I always screw up in the calculation part. Seems I
   can't even punch buttons consistently. But I got this two time in a
   row.

   I think you are off Blake. At least I hope you are :)

   BTW since I have you on the line do you know of a character BASIC
   programming
   language  for Linux? I have tons of source. I usually program this sort
   of thing in QB. Easy to run the numbers over and over.

Paul,

Have you ever played with Perl?  It is super powerful, and I think
pretty easy to learn.  I have to imagine that there's also a BASIC
interpreter for Linux...

Or, this looks cool:

Thanks Matt. As soon as I have this thing designed to my exacting needs
I'll take a look.
