Raul The non-ASCII characters were a bit of a mess. This was a first attempt at something and I am not used to creating such script. I hand wrote the non-ASCII characters onto the printed page and scanned the result into a PDF file.
J programs would still be transferable, because there is no change to storage format - the two ASCII characters are still stored. The change is only when those characters are output.

I ask, because I recently uninstalled adobe's reader because of a security flaw. http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa09-01.html I am installing the new version of adobe now, but if you needed to use pdf because regular text was inadequate for your proposal, I think that says something about the proposal itself -- it would mean -- for example -- that you are proposing that J programs should not be transmittable using regular email. ... Ok, I have downloaded the proposal now. The hard part, obviously, is the characters themselves. (Personally, I could read the J code but had problems understanding the "compromise equivalent verb". I am not sure if my problems were because of the ways the intended characters were rendered or whether my problems in understanding were because I was expected to understand some character(s) which I did not understand.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
