The following is from this month’s .EXE Magazine…
| alpha | It compiles! |
| beta | It runs on Joe’s machine. |
| gamma | It runs on Kate’s machine too. |
| delta | It runs on the network. |
| epsilon | It’s stopped running on Kate’s machine. |
| zeta | It runs on all machines, but report crashes. |
| eta | It crashes with HIMEM.SYS. |
| theta | It crashes without HIMEM.SYS. |
| iota | It crashes with a serial printer. |
| kappa | It works! But the spec has changed. |
| lambda | It runs, but mysteriously at half the speed of before. |
| mu | It crashes the network. |
| nu | It crashes Kate’s machine with HIMEM.SYS, Joe’s without. |
| xi | It runs, but the printout is garbage. |
| omicron | As above, but crashes after printout sometimes. |
| pi | It sometimes crashes. |
| rho | Kate thinks it works, but it turns out she’s running lambda. |
| sigma | No luck yet. |
| tau | Aha, sorted out the printout. |
| upsilon | Nearly there — just need to tidy up the help text. |
| phi | It won’t run at all on anything. |
| chi | Yipee! It runs perfectly on all the machines in the world. |
| psi | It runs on all the machines in the world except that idiot’s from Basingstoke with the customised Amstrad and DOS 4.01. |
| omega | It won’t compile. |
