programming???

Well, that's how my patches to the FF7 EXE work to make it run in windowed mode, dump debug messages, or run in 32-bit colour; I just hacked some of the assembler code out, using the technique mentioned. FF7.EXE actually has run-in-a-window code in there, but it's only enabled in some kind of special "debug mode". So you just do what Dag says, and make it so it runs when you AREN'T in a special debug mode instead

I just read in my Computing textbook that Bill Gates invented BASIC, how interesting.

That's not true. Bill Gates picked the source code for Basic up from the paper bin in a university where he was cleaning the floors.

That says quite a lot: The only "programming" language that Bill Gates has ever claimed inventing, a very bad one as such, is in reality stolen.

Yeah I'm serious...because I've read it from people who also where dead serious, of course it *might* be an urban legend. But considering how he also stole DOS from his best friend I wouldn't consider it unlikely.
