My idea for wamtomg tp write the Program that way was to make
printout to give to people on their Birthday to let them read the
verses in the Bible that matched their Date of birth.

I saw Your message about the Dove Net Programming echo, and Mike's
Reply to You.
That echo comes in My .QWK's when any new messages are in it.
Sometimes I read that echo but never have posted anything there.
I never thought that BASIC code would be talked about, although I
did see a message recently about BASIC for LINUX.
Sounds like a plan for me to ask that group. Thank You!

Mike has messages from several BBS Networks - DOVE, IL, FSX,
GT Power and probably some others I can't think of.
Not sure if He has FamilyNet echoes.

I appreciate all the help I can get, Thanks Again!
