- As you can see, I'm not very good at writing readme files. It's not my
- fault. It's all this programming, annoying me, everyday.
-
- How did it start?
-
- Well one day I got really fed up of writing Text this, Text that, X=this,
- Y=that. It was so annoying, I decided to learn how to use the DIALOG
- commands. I couldn't be bothered, I just wrote Fastext.
-
- Oh well, that's it from me! See ya.
-
- Yours sincerely,
