An ALGOL variant (S-ALGOL) that I used at university differentiated between, IIRC, IF ... THEN ... ELSE and IF ... DO which meant that as soon as the compiler saw THEN or DO it knew whether or not there should be an ELSE later on. It was such a simple idea but it worked well for both programmers & the compiler. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
