The python version would probably work better, and be far smaller.

My big project this week was to write a replacement for tripwire since I
couldn't get TW working on an AMD-64 system.  My python program is 389

students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential
programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of
regeneration.
