hmm, if i could be bothered moving i'd dig out the notes and see,
maybe we did add at the head, can't remember. i do know we had to do it in
Modula-2 which is not a fun language, pascal style (nothing wrong there)
with bits of C added in (again not too bad) however a language where all the
reserved words are in UPPERCASE, you have to load a special header library
to deal with floating point numbers and you define functions by using the
keyword PROCEDURE isn't that good.

why do i get the feeling this is one of those long running arguments, like the
'pc is better than the mac' 'Linux is better than windows' 'my pc is better than
your pc' :) (and from my viewpoint, all are true :) (except the last one maybe))
