Source Code
I started writing this in FORTRAN back in the early 1980's and then in QuickBasic, Microsoft Basic and finally PowerBasic. Stylistically, the code is a mess. Examine the code if you like, but I probably do not have time to answer any "how does this work" questions.
sbs493-public.txt - Source code for SBS 4.9.3. PowerBasic Console Compiler, Console Tools and Graphics Tools required.
announcer-public.txt - Source code for "announcer". PowerBasic 9 for Windows
