There have been many times when I have been stopped somewhere and asked to whip out some code to convert a database or crunch some numbers. I'll be the first to admit that Basic is not the greatest programming language in the world, but it is on most MS-DOS compatible computers, and it gets the job done. By posting these files on the Internet, I provide myself with easy access to complex code, and maybe help someone else in the process.

Aren't I just so generous?
