    that machines are very different now and such a slow recalc rate was impossible.
    Thanks! I never worked with "open source" before - it's SO

    P.S. With new version of HMG (Harbour MiniGUI Extended v1.4.49 - with
    new version of Harbour) I recieved some "strange" effects (after
    6-8-10 generations I see square grey "holes" instead of any cells; I
    think - it's memory leak errors in MiniGUI or Harbour). I wrote to
    Grigory Filatov (Russian guru in MiniGUI problems) about that - he
    promised to look...
    Sorry, I can't be of any help, I tried HMG but then switched to HWgui

    Hi

    Is there any one willing to share the code of "Life" based on the idea of Mr. John Conway?
    The link provided in the first thread is dead.

    Wow! My post is 14 years old now, and refers to a program I wrote years
    before. (In fact it was 1999, more or less). I'll see if I still have
    the sources somewhere.
    Amazing!
