VB6? Condolecences. I had that once. I wonder what all the VB shops will do

Close, but not quite. Abusing Python's functional features:

Python 2.1.1 (#1, Sep 13 2001, 18:12:15)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD]] on freebsd4
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,map(lambda x:chr(ord(x)^42),tuple('zS^BED\nX_FOY\x0b')))
