(NOTE: If anyone else besides DM has an answer to my questions, please let meãknow.)ããDM,ããI have a question for you concerning porting one of my doors from Pascal toãpossibly Baja. I'd like to try porting my door "The Magic Oracle" fromãPascal to Baja. In a short nutshell, here's what it does from start to finish:ããSees if INDEX.DAT is existant (a simple integer that tells how many lines ofãtext are in the answer file). If not, count ANSWERS.DAT (a text file) andãrecord in INDEX.DAT how many files there are.ãGet user's question.ãPick random number from 1 to INDEXãGet answer(index)ãShow answer(index)ããNow I know it sounds silly to be asking this, but is there random numberãcapabilities in Baja? I've been reading over the docs and I haven't seenãanything yet (or perhaps I skipped over it). I'd like to do it in Baja so itãwould be backwards-compatible with older versions of Sync, but if it can (orãshould be) written in JS, then I'll just wait until I can devote a little moreãtime to learning JS.ããIdeas or suggestions?ãã--HMãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Midnight's Hour BBS - midnightshour.orgã

I kinda figured you would say JS (just because it's more of aãcomplete language, I guess-not quite sure what I'm trying to say).ãã--HMããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Midnight's Hour BBS - midnightshour.orgã
