Better think about objects and interfaces. Like, if you have an object file, and an interface io_read, you do file->io_read() to read from the file. The high level view ignores that this actually has to send a message to a server that provides file. If you are there, then you can go one level down and look at CORBA, for example. > What could be added to that comparasion to make it more correct? > In general, I think documentation that looks more like English and less > like code would be very helpful. return 1; ;) Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
