[NCLUG] More "Loopy" Questions

[bmc]

Ok I give up.
I really wanted to do this but the fact that I simply don't have enough

know to start with that loop.c even existed and then trying to modify it by
yourself with no programming experience or documentation is an exercise in
futility. I got nothin'.
