re: Why aren't environment variables being expanded in my RGS file?
I've seen similar questions pop up on StackOverflow where people wonder why things like fopen() can't understand file paths with tildes in them ("~/file.txt"). They don't realize that it's the *shell*...

Maybe they should add a feature to make, so if make game is executed and there is no feasible target "game", it runs some game. Perchance the original adventure/colossal cave as it can run everywhere...

re: Why aren't environment variables being expanded in my RGS file?
From the problem statement, it was obvious to me that whatever system handles .rgs files doesn't do environment variable expansion. And I figured that out without having the foggiest notion what an...

It's actually not possible to travel by land all the way. There are no roads in the Darien Gap, between Panama and Colombia.

@alegr1 - hahahahha On topic: I hadn't heard of RGS files before, but then again I'm not now, nor ever have been, an ATL or even a C++ programmer. Still, I had the same though as @DWalker - clearly...

I'm pretty sure the first all-wheeled crossing of the Darien Gap was 40 years ago on a road bike. I can't imagine they'll make very good time, though. They're expecting to cover an average of 55mi per...
