Day 1122

Used the new disc-spanning feature of the PKZIP 2.04 version to re-backup 123 and DOS - especially good with the latter as if the hard disc goes down there's no way you can RESTORE a 2-megabyte ZIP file to a 360K floppy. With 2.04 you can have the required disc auto-located and only unzip what you want (usually CHKDSK).

Got a lift into town in C's car, got Pickwick Papers from the library. Walked back in the heat.

Rang T. She wanted me to come down straight away (I was almost tempted) but I told her she'd have to wait until Wednesday.

Worked on the latest attempt at a C spreadsheet in the evening: was surprised to find how far I'd got. I wish I'd never mentioned it on the Kingston form as it was only a QBASIC prog at the time. Similar structure, yeah, but would they understand that? But I did find out how useful sprintf() was - saves loads of hassle.
