	Well -- it wasn't "useful" being just a class assignment, but the
instructor of the data structures/algorithms class permitted us to use any
language he could understand for an assignment.

	I did use a 70s era BASIC for it. Got fun as the system only allowed
for four open files at a time... And I made use of the CHAIN LINK command
to load the main operational functions as separate programs... The
assignment: a hashed head multiple linked list. Something I've only seen in
one place since then -- the file system of the Amiga.
