Band On The Run,
No, I do not believe we know each other in real life nor do I use your software.
We do share the willingness to undergo the discipline and patience which programming requires and which I thought I could detect in your technical posts.
However, I think we otherwise have quite different backgrounds. I started in 1961 as a Research Engineer (from a social science background) and have never really worked for anyone. Started with North American Aviation and went to The RAND Corporation which was the best of the best at its time. While I was at RAND I was, in a sense a Beta tester on BASIC, although we didn't call it Beta then. Four teletypewriters doing BASIC all at the same time running off the Johnniac, a first generation tube machine, in a sense the son of Eniac. Designed in large part by John Von Neuman, thus the name.
I cashed in my PhD and computer knowledge and became a Full Professor with tenure at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. I was free to pursue such computing goals as I wished.
I retired fourteen years ago and still use my digital capabilties but as an applications user, not a programmer.
You can see our backgrounds are probably quite different.
Thanks for responding.
