My mainframe session crashed and I lost 50 lines of code... like 1/4 of my program. Darn COBOL

To paraphrase a certain long-time mayor, save early and often. I usually wind up saving about every two lines of code. Crazy, I know, but I've been bit too many times.... And I'm on a PC using C++ and C#. All it takes is a little flicker of the lights and *poof*.

Re: Current patch history in Beta
Im trying to learn programming, but my resources in this area are non-existent, and anything I have found requires money (of which I dont have) or something I cant get
Any suggestions would be great

Borland allows free download of the personal edition of C# Builder. You can't do commercial development with it, but it would give you a free option for learning C#.

A decent UPS is only ~$200 or so and it saves you so many headaches! |

Get C for Dummies volume one and two by Dan Gookin. He is awesome. By far the books are better than many profs I know.
Of course, C is old as dirt, but you have to start somewhere, and C goes right into C++, and C++ is similar to Java and C# too. Problem is getting a good compiler for free. There are a few out there actually. Borland was giving one away once I think.

Nah, I didnt lose power. A UPS device would be nice for when I don't have extreme super reliable power. The campus makes its own power, and all the cables are buried. Its pretty sweet, only one power outage Last year (maintenance at the plant), and I bet this year will be flicker free. Add a huge pipe to the net, and Im golden. Darn mainframe!!!!
