Maybe if you had told us this in the first place instead of
"Download this program!", you wouldn't have gotten that reception.
a) You posted a program in a newsgroup that usually does not have
things uuencoded to it and b) Left us with no description.
Go back and finish your intro to programming homework. After you've
done that, had a night's sleep and a good wank, come back to us.
