- Since you are on the net, why not just upload your source code in
- ascii, and get it on a msdos machine with quick basic. If I remember
- correctly, quick basic can convert the source to c source within
- itself. I can not say it with 100% confidence, it's been years for
- me. Check out that route if it is possible for you.
- Be seeing you,
