Hi,
nice to hear, Peter ... how's the weather in Southern France?
As you know there is a "NICE" city nearby. ;-)
We wrote a C program to do the trigraph modification ... portable of course,
so that it could run on the mainframe, after the upload of the source (which
was done by the
ISPF workstation agent at that time) and just before the compile :-)
Some time ago, I read the wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digraphs_and_trigraphs_(programming)
(I mention it hear because of IBM's involvement in the C++ field..
When I learned and use PASCAL in the 80's, I think I immediately had "forgotten" about (. .)
begin a digraph.
Someone might want to add a comment about tokenization of (.1.) vs (. 1 .)
Best
Peter
