- you are talking about ALGOL, linkage-conventions, and C. What was first and what was made after there were bad expiriances with the original design.... and why did the C-developers not listen/adhere/learn from past expiriance? Yea- it broke when the language was brought to the mainframe, but is that really to blame on the "mainframe"/"the ones designing the linkage-conventions". -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
