David and Rick if you are out there: There was a cool/silly racecar game I used to play. On the DOS 6.2 built by 'Apogee' If the code was just changed a little bit. Would it be possible to add this game as a 'bin' file in the Debian or better yet Mint/Ubuntu 17/14 repositories? I am overjoyed to have even read your messages regarding programming languages. paul g > Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2015 21:08:26 -0600 > From: eng at pinenet.com > To: escargo at skypoint.com; tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Learning string editing on a 2.6 kernel with a serial mouse > > Sincere thanks.
