As you can see by the way I phrased it there, I never claimed that Bret or I was the _sole_ inventor ;) And you're absolutely right, I might have picked up "INT xx.yy" from somewhere and extended it to the "Intxx.yy(yy).zz=ww(ww).vvv" I explained in the other message later on. >> I might slightly amend my (long!) description in that I prefer to use >> "Int" in that capitalization and no space between that abbreviation and >> the xx; whereas, say, Bret uses "INT" all-capitalized here, and a space >> before the xx. > > That's as well a matter of preference here, at least as far as the > capitalization is concerned, Right.

That doesn't even figure into it though, as I am not aware of any assemblers or interpreters (yet) that would directly read a command of the form Intxx.yy... to execute it. Regards, C.
