Re: errors

Does anyone remember the Star Trek program on the S/38 ?

I had JUST started at a new place as a "junior programmer trainee" and was
checking that things out and saw it, along with some other "game" programs. The
others worked fine (boring) and I just jumped in and out (can't even remember
what they were) and then I came to Star Trek...

Talk about LIGHTS dimming...

I SHEEPISHLY went to the D.P. Manager (that's what they were called back then
<BG>) and told him what I had done. He laughed and said, "Oh, ya, we've all done
that with that one, guess we should take it off; welcome aboard !" !!!!!

We "rebooted" the S/38 and was OK...
