Well, when I was 14, I just got fed up with Pascal and obtained Turbo
C++ (yuck) for my birthday (sad!).

Then I sat down and wrote some real simple programs.

Hello World.
Input name, Hello %d.
Input name, DOB; read system clock; Hello, %s, you are %d years old.

3 YEARS PASS...

Allocate lomem buffer, install interrupt handler, play sound!

Luck & Regards,


ABW
