Hi,
sounds disadvantageous... well, I still have an old (MacOS 7.0) copy of
MPW which I have compacted to fit on 3 1/2 disks. 11MBs only. But it's only
C...

Certainly. These associative arrays merely mean that you can use strings
instead of numbers as indices. FWIW, Joker has infinite-dimensional
associative arrays and they work beautifully (if I get that write-to-NULL
bug out of TextMunger...). I'm sure Anthony will have no problems adding
array support to NuInterpreter and saving arrays might even be possible
fairly easily using XBlockFile.
Just keep your fingers crossed we're successful in hunting bugs.
