I was wondering - my cable listings dont provive codes for
Comedy Central, channel 39. Drat. I always want to tape
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 on Friday Evenings and
Saturday Mornings.

I was furious when I called  Gemstar and asked them how to
get to program the numbers myself. They told me to screw off.

So, I did a little figurin'.

I played for an hour with the box, and realized something.

Year (operater) code = Channel, Time, and Length
BUT! Many times, the DATE will still be the same. Hm...

So, I was wondering if anyone WROTE a program that'll
let you input today's date, the channel you want, the time and 
length, and the VCR Plus code would be spit out.

Let me know, I am really curious.
I know theres an article in Cryptologia that decoded it, but I
want to ENCODE it, and besides, I dont have that article.
