Conditionals in BASIC aren't that hard...

I don't understand what you mean. Are you referring to some pro or con within BASIC or BaCon, or are you referring to the sentence being incorrect (given that "both" should be "neither")? Regardless, I like BaCon because it's easy, fast, updated regularly, and passes cleanly through to C. My black, British cat, Mr. Fluffer Wickbidget, III, also likes bacon. You may think that fact is not relevant here, but it is when you run out milk, as I now see that I have.

I was being pedantic and flippant. Best wishes to you and Mr. Wickbidget.
