The real money is in the pharmaceutical and arms industry, if you're an "engineer" you can swing wherever you want.

C, C++, assembly, unadulterated x86 machine code, a Casio fx-115MS with some big-ass books full of tables and some scratch paper.

I didn't realize there was distraught fan boys, here on DW, until I read this thread.

Well-duh-AD, you're using the wrong distro. You need Dettu[Xx] (http://www.dettus.net/dettuxx/), if you want simplicity.

Table fields in HTML, or what? And why are SHOUTING?!

QBasic is a "starter" language.(sometimes)

If you're writing the parser, then anything is possible! Oh course.... not everyone is insane as me. Sitting here writing a script parser for a game.

So the project is something like a phone directory, or large database management project? Which if so, then look at something like MySQL.
