Well, I've mostly written the program in Basic so far, but Basic really limits
me.  It can support about 4-6 people chatting, but it all depends on if it
receives the signal.  It would be really helpful if the Basic Send( ) command
transmitted calc to calc, but since it doesn't I'm stuck making the program
work with GetCalc( ).  Also, though, the program's sort of slow...  So I'm
interested in rewriting it in Assembly.  The radio frequency link works just
like the cable link, it's just long distance wireless. But I'll take a look at
the tetris source, that might help me out.
