I have always believed that there are three mind-sets. 1. Assembler/machine language. 2. Procedural languages (COBOL, etc.). 3. Object oriented. As you go from 1 to 3, you have less details to worry about, as the compiler does more house-keeping for you. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
