Snippets Wanted With 2600+ BASIC source codes available on this site, we ask this question: "What hasn't been done yet?" Or better yet, "What needs to be done?" Sure, we could all use a JPEG viewer, or an MP3 player, but from the advice of one Randall Glass, what about the little things? From all the code that can be found in this archive, it's sometimes hard to find the little things which we all need in our daily programming tasks. Well, now it's your turn to request a snippet that perhaps someone out there will be able to come up with. Here is the growing list. Note: I've seen this list grow way too big, it's about time some of you started doing things yourself :-) Linear Programming, solving linear equations using Matrix operations. Done!
