and, BTW [for instance], "magenta" is just one of only 16 colors
that're available in QBasic, unless one wants to get into
pallet-switching, which I tend not to use because it's
'time-consuming [because the colors in the selection 'pallet' are not
linearly-distributed] i wrote a program that does it, but i don't use
it on the slow, small, machine on which I do my QBasic stuff].
to those with respect to whom 'stuff' like this seems to be of
first-importance, "pink" is, sometimes, in this way, =just= a useful
color... OK?
Why not wait until my Life is not threatened to do your 'spoof'
stuff.
It'll all be much more 'robust', then... and, in actualitly, Funny,
no?
Yup.
