Dave, PASSWD.GEN (Password Generator) has been merged into DL1 at 2070 bytes, as a convenience for those who have difficulty in thinking of "unique" word combinations for password use. This short program will generate 108,900 unique password combinations from a word list stored as data statements. By changing the data statements, a completely different 108,900 words can be generated. While the program is semi-useful as is, it illustrates several techniques that may be useful in other programs; random number generating, retrieving string data from data statements, building and displaying strings.
