Had to redo, new hard drive, reinstall.

Every time I wen tfor opening source, no delimiters, it looked more like a big block of gibberish.

How to get around that:

open the simulator. Make a new file.

Open your old source in Wordpad

Select all, copy and paste over then save in Kowalski.

Or, use a proper text editor that understands both Windows-style and Unix-style line endings, and re-save the file. There also exists conversion tools for this purpose, too.

In Unix there are the standard commands

dos2unix

and

unix2dos

Thanks. Didnt know what was going on and tried that one out in a little bit of despair. Still wondering why it zonked all my code like this with fresh reinstalls, though...

The code isn't zonked; it's how it was originally saved. Your files apparently have Unix-style line-endings, where each line of text ends with a single linefeed character ($0A). Modern text editors generally can read both, but usually save in Unix-style files, because it eliminates all the conversion hassle you yourself are now experiencing.

Older-school editors still exist, and retain the MS-DOS and CP/M standard of CR/LF pairs. Apparently, Kowalski's program falls under the "needs serious renovation" category.

K. it only got to me because the change that was done was a fresh XP install. I used my saved reinstaller file and also downloaded with the same result. Since my code and the Kowalski program were the same, I figured something screwball happened in the XP install to the new hard drive.

Thanks on the understanding of it, though
