I am completely desperate. You are also a loser. Pick another major if this simple programhas you stumped.

Instead of wasting time by re-typing the handout from the prof, why didn'tyou start working on the program? > I have no clue what to do for these....

No. > thanks, > ron epstein. You are a loser, Ron. And you have a loser email address. When I was in college, I posted questions to the InfoVAX discussion list to learn more about VMS and teach myself the things that were not covered in normal coursework. I never asked the list subscribers to do homework for me. Before his untimely passing, I even subjected myself to the possiblity of a nuclear flame session by directly asking Carl J. Lydick questions about VMS systems. Luckily, Carl was patient with me and answered all my questions without opening the napalm spigot. Pay your dues, boy, and learn the stuff like everyone else has. -Scott >:^(
