I rather thought about using "integer" as a name for the "signed int" C-ish type _only_. The unsigned whole number type should be named differently, although I must admit not to have a very good name myself. One might think of "cardinal", for example, but that has some conotation mathematically (cardinality of sets, e.g.). Anyway, that makes it a number type with a lower bound, as is required for positive-only whole numbers. > > (Didn't you set out to recreate a _Pascal_ compiler?

Although I'm not convinced that "yet another [tool kit] specific language" (a "YA[TK]SL"?) is really required. I'd opt for a full implementation of Algol 68 instead, as this had nearly everything ever conceived for any programming language, and more... ;-> Except objects and classes. -- -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
