'A worm is standing on the end of a rope 100 inches long. Each second the
' worm crawls 1 inch and the rope streches 100 inches. If the rope can  '
' strech forever and the worm can crawl forever will the worm ever reach the
' end? Yes he will and this program will find out how long it will take.
'
' rps#           How much the rope streches each second. The rope is this
'                long at the starting
'wrms#           How much the worm crawls each second.  
'prs#            How often the computer will print the status of the program.
