Ever heard of the little word "please"? (Not to be confused with "pls".)

I was going to try and give him a more generic version of the program but to my dismay I found that GWBasic won't run on my Windows 7 box because it's 64 bit, and GWBasic is 16 bit :-(

So you'll have to go with the highly optimized but hardly reusable version posted by Smithers-Jones.
