RAH! you tell on boy! He does have a point though - people like 'ol blackwind and I cant be bothered to take a few months (yes no-one in the world could learn it in a day alas) learning it before w start coding - we wanna get stuck in and see results. We will then begin to learn C and when in 6 months time someone like us comes along asking for some trivial help WE WILL tell them what to do - because we appreciate what there going through. Also there is no point having a newbie mailing list because erm, who'll answer the questions? > > Ok, here's the thing.
