For the "classic" languages, that's true: those languages that came out of academia or computer scientists: LISP, Fortran, C, C++, there's usually a pretty limited vocabulary. It tends to be vendors who throw in everything including the kitchen sink. > But the point is you could deploy applications WITHOUT them if you > choose to. I'd rather keep that choice. You can do that on web site. I have URLs that return only text, only XML, only a graphic. You don't have to return gaudy pages fully of splashy graphics and dancing Flash files. I'd prefer you didn't :) > Oh! Wow! I wish we had XML in desktop apps! You've convinced me! Smartaleck! Are you intentionally missing the point or just avoiding it? When I was talking about XML in a web app, I'm thinking of the XHTML the search engines can parse, the RSS and Atom and other microformats you can use to advertise your application or services, offer subscriptions or publish data. You can do that with your desktop app, too. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
