Freefall time calculator

[skydiverbob 0]

I used to have a program that was a Freefall time calculator that would keep a running total on the computer. I accidently deleted a exe file and it is no longer working. Does anyone know the program, or where it can be obtained. If I recall it was a free program that I downloaded several years ago but can't remember where. Email me @ skydiverbob@msn.com if you can help. Thanks

What exactly did it do?
I might be able to write you such a proggy.

I remember that one! I just did some digging in the underbelly of Dropzone.com... try this:

Is that it?

Here is some BASIC source code to a quick one I wrote.
(Line 420 seems to be wrapping, but you get the idea.)
Use GWBASIC.EXE


10 CLS
20 PRINT "Freefall time calculator"
30 PRINT "note: hours do not rollover into days"
40 PRINT
50 INPUT "Starting Hours"; HOUR
60 INPUT "Starting Minutes"; MINUTE
70 INPUT "Starting Seconds"; SECOND
200 IF SECOND<60 THEN 300
210 SECOND=SECOND-60
220 MINUTE=MINUTE+1
230 GOTO 200
300 IF MINUTE<60 THEN 400
310 MINUTE=MINUTE-60
320 HOUR=HOUR+1
330 GOTO 300
400 HR$=RIGHT$("0"+RIGHT$(STR$(HOUR),LEN(STR$(HOUR))-1),2)
410 MIN$=RIGHT$("0"+RIGHT$(STR$(MINUTE),LEN(STR$(MINUTE))-1),2)
420 SEC$=RIGHT$("0"+RIGHT$(STR$(SECOND),LEN(STR$(SECOND))-1),2)
500 PRINT HR$;":";
510 PRINT MIN$;":";
520 PRINT SEC$
600 INPUT "Seconds of freefall on next jump (0 to quit)";S
610 IF S=0 THEN SYSTEM
620 SECOND=SECOND+S
630 GOTO 200

Gary... question, whos the bigger geek? You for writing a program that still uses basic, or me for being able to read it and understand it?

One thing... can I port this to a few other languages?

Makes me want to whip out my old Atari 800XL. I couldn't tell you how many thousands of lines of that crap I wrote when I was young. Now it's Java, Perl, VB, ASP....it's all crap...but it's a living.

I have an Atari 400 with the membrane keys (shows you how old I am).

This is where I get to feel bad. Basic is the only one that I know, Commodore 64 here I come.
