Why no waxing eloquent for C? I haven't heard APL mentioned in years. Though perusing Wikipedia's APL page to refresh myself, I am amused in the context of this thread to read: "In reality, most APL compilers translated source APL to a lower level language such as C, leaving the machine-specific details to the lower level compiler." Tee-hee. -E _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
