How To Run The Program

If you're feeling ambitious and have nothing better to do, you could just copy
the source listing by hand! However, there is a much easier way to do it:

Copy the source listing into the Windows Clipboard

Paste the Clipboard into a new text document

Drop that text document onto the "Drop SiMPLE Listing Here" icon

(If you would like to contribute any of your SiMPLE programs to The Gallery, just e-mail them to us.)
