Well, I agree with yout view about the C language design. But now is too late;-) My point is more practical: my students know one syntax, I don't have a lot of hours for the course, most of them won't be software developers but rather software users, so if I can do more interesting things it is not bad. -- Fabien Coelho - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
