Re: QL / PASCAL

@NormanDunbar: OK, now also the do_rename() and the do_mkdir() patch by you should be included in SVN trunk, although I did a small refactor, and as I previously indicated, I factored out the inline asm snippets into separate asm wrapper functions.

Re: Happy Birthday!

Hi Dilwyn,

I'm afraid I haven't watched Star Trek since they stopped showing t he original series from the 1960s. :(

I've only seen the first Start Wars too - the original one that is, not the ones they shoehorned in before it!


Cheers,
Norm.

Re: Happy Birthday!

Ah, ok. I never watched it. Will have to check Wikipedia sometime.
