Paulo Pinto:Pascal expatriates like myself won't consider indexes from 1 a design mistake. :)What's the good of having all arrays always start from index 1 (this is different from Ada, where you can choose the indexing range and type)?
VB6 let you choose your starting index, too. It was rarely useful and constantly made array-handling code a pain in the ass. Of course, VB made pretty much everything a PITA...(I used to work at a VB6 house. *shudder*)
