Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine I know, I could feel the stirring all the way here.............<BG>
Seriously though, what's wrong with APL? It's got a good history behind it, a good track record behind it. Granted it has a less then stellar acceptance record, and its syntax is strange, and the only use that I can remember was in the construction of the S/360, and S/370 families. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
