Geek Code Generator v1.7.3
Generates your geek code
Copyright © 1999-2003 Chris Gushue <chris@blackplasma.net>
This program will generate a geek code block for you by simply choosing which codes suit you from the screen. I am not a very good programmer, I just dabble a little every now and then. Originally, I started this project in Visual Basic, but decided to use DJGPP v2 instead, partially because it is free, partially because it is more portable, and partially because Visual Basic sucks :)
The code has been successfully compiled on the following platforms:
- Linux 2.2 - Debian GNU/Linux (potato) - gcc-2.95.1/glibc-2.1.2

If you have successfully (or unsuccessfully) compiled it on a different platform, let me know (although, judging from the above list, it should compile on pretty much anything).
