    Swimming in treacle

    Hi Guys, Many, many thanks to you all for your efforts. Unfortunately I don't know much about the ins and outs of it all so I'm afraid I can't really provide the sort of info you probably need. Luckily for me, I recently discovered that the original programmer (who had been believed to...

    The text file (ascii.TXT)is attached here- it is the text version of the above file. unfortuneatly I have about a hundred other .bin files without a corresponding text version- so I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Many thanks.

    Swimming in treacle

    Hi guys, Thanks so much for your replies- and sorry I didn't think to attach a file! I have attached one here (it wont let me attach it with a .bin extention so I have changed it to BIN.TXT). I have also managed to find a copy of the text version of this file and I have attached that to...

    Swimming in treacle

    Hello All, My problem is that I have some .bin files (containing numerical data) but I have lost the text versions of these files. I am wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions as to how I can convert these files into something I can read, or alternately, if there is a way of...

    Shooting at L.A.X El-Al Desk

    Well one thing is for sure- If people behave like headless chickens and attribute every such event to terrorists then it might as well be a terrorist act. I'm sure that Bin Laden appreciates it- if he is still around. :( And yes- I know its easy for me to say being 1000's of km away.

    Prisons - Punish or Rehabilitate?

    I agree with this. But I also think that the process of dealing with anti-social behaviour has to start earlier. Young people in danger of becoming offenders should be given a lot of help to get themselves on track before they get themselves into trouble. Those who take the chances given them...

    Recomend me some humorous prose

    I think you are on to something there:) Maybe the episode where he introduces his boardgame that shows how life isn't always fair.

    Recomend me some humorous prose

    How about Don Quixote (Man of la Mancha)? Once described as "the arch fool of all time whose sublime journey is made entirely by way of happenstance" Ever heard the saying "tilting at windmills"? Well he's the original. Here is a link to the project Gutenburg text...

    Favorite RPG

    D&D a loooong time ago, the only other one I ever played was set in space and called "traveller" from memory. I haven't played either for around 15 years.

    You Suck! Really you do!!!

    Ironing- especially anything with pleats. Things usually look worse after I've finished than they did in the first place. My wife thinks a ploy to get out of doing it- but its genuine ineptitude :)

    What were the specs for your first PC??

    Originally posted by erix "AFAI remember the games name was "nibbles"" Yes- you're right it was nibbles. A fun frantic and frustrating game. After a bout of that I was always ready for the more intellectual challange of "Gorillaz";)

    What were the specs for your first PC??

    YES! I had the same set up (mine had a 20MB HDD), And I used to play "Gorillaz" with a friend- and the other one "Nibbles" or "Snakes" or something... like you said- the good old days. That was the first computer I owned- the first I used was in my high school- I have no idea as to its...
