"Every other character is a period or a colon. I've got spots before my eyes. How can anybody read this stuff?"
There is a utility available that takes each of the J operations from the vocabulary and translates it to Katakana. You may find your code easier to read after it passes through that translation. You can then use a soundmachine that reads the Katakana signs out loud and no need to read - just sit back with eyes closed and listen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
