No one bumped it, so I'll bump it myself! It really proves that saying: asking others is worse than relying on yourself!

Basically nobody except moderator Wengier can understand all of it, you'd better go have a good chat with Wengier!

*The following is quoted from 沈洁 on 2003-7-28 11:48:40:* Basically nobody except moderator Wengier can understand all of it, you'd better go have a good chat with Wengier! To 沈洁: I understand it!! To 6618: Which part don't you understand? I can tell you

I can still understand it in general, it's just that I haven't used some of the software in it!

Actually, with wbat's text feature, the WRITEXT file is unnecessary.
