It seems tome that you'd prefer a higher-level language like Ruby (www.ruby-lang.org) or Python (www.python.org). Both are extremely powerful, while at the same time being quite easy to use. You don't need any "extra commands" to run the program. You just run it. That's it. My personal favourite is Ruby. I find it much superior. I'm working on a Ruby tutorial (http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/). It'll give you a good idea of what Ruby is like. As for an IDE, I like Anjuta (http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/). It supports both Ruby and Python, but it doesn't have a "run" button to execute them. That's okay, you don't need one. Just keep a terminal open and run it from there. -- Daniel Carrera Graduate Teaching Assistant. Math Dept. University of Maryland. (301) 405-5137 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
