Hmmm ... me is no native speaker either, so, may I be forgiven, that I've actually interpreted that sentence in the way of: how many lines of code does your project contain. Funny, how brain filters contents to get something which makes sense in an actual context. I didn't even perceive that "line numbers". It just became "lines". Shame on me.

Funny nitpicking nevertheless :-)

regarding the line numbers: on good old c64, you started straight from the shell to churn some basic code: line number, statement, enter. Then run. That's it. Hoped, you didn't get a syntax error. *gg* No editor support for something like line numbers.

ok! sorry! it's my mistake!
So lets say: "How many code lines does your os have?"
