Last night I was going through some *old* paperwork and on the back of a
report found a very simple program I wrote in Qbasic.
Did a drive search and found a backup from a 386 I had worked on a long
time ago and it had my program on it along with a few games.
I mainly use Linux now but installed DosBox to see if the stuff would run.
It did!
Played Nibbles a few times just for laughs and enjoyed it.
I am not a gamer and never played anything newer than Tetris.
Let me know if you find an OCR to read in the old punched cards and run
their programs.
LOL
I have one program left on punch cards back from the FORTRAN I-V days
(In the same box with my slide rule)
kept it because I thought some day it would be a collector's item.
I think the kids today just would not believe the old days.
