I mentioned the Java Javastrip difference in a earlier message in this .REP .
I won't do any research about it right now.
I probable have a Ask Leo or Ask Woody or Wikipedia file I saved long about
the difference.

WHEN I get my ROUNDTUIT I will do THAT! THANKS! All the help I can get to
help my friend is VERY MUCH APPRICIATED!

I will take a look at it before I mention it to my friend.
If it is a TEXT Game he told me today He isn't interested in the 100 or so
TEXT Games on Mikes Capitol City BBS.
He doesn't like Text Games.
AA>>Many BBSes have fine DOOR GAMES. Would that fit the bill?
EV>He isn't a BBS User.
AA> Sounds like he has a limited understanding of BBSes. Games on BBSes
AA> are traditional, blocky, ascii, etc.. types. Some are based on
AA> animations, some are
AA> text-based like RPG's. But many are implemented quite nicely.
Yes, he isn't interested in the Technical part or wanting to become a BBS
User, he just wants to play GOOD GAMES On-Line.
He told me today he plays Pool On-Line and won TWO sessions of Pool of the
many he played today.
I told him to Email the Link to that Game page so I could look at it.
Before he got the Chromebook he has used Ubuntu, Win3.1 and Win95, then he
got a X-Box system and loved to play Madden Football and a Car Racetrack
game called Frouza (?).
He has had the X-Box, X-Box360 and a X-Box One and wishes he could play
X-Box games on his Chromebook.
EV>Years ago when This BBS (CCO) could be Dial'd-Up I gave him the
EV>phone number of the Prism BBS he could get on using Dial-Up.
EV>He used it for a while and didn't continue calling it. That may
EV>have been because Janis moved away from this area.
AA> Today, we access BBSes via Telnet.
I tried Telnet and talked to Mike about my difficulties with it and Mike
told me about a web site I could go to that would grab the packet for me
and send it to me via FTP.
I used that method for a long time and then got a BRIGHT IDEA to make my own
FTP Script(s) to GET and PUT .QWK Packets to his BBS.
I run the Script with a .BAT file from a CMD Prompt.
Talk about being LAZY, I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
