for larger data, 3!:1 (or 3!:3) is very fast and you don't have to worry about running ". on what is only assumed to be a noun (data).

Like most such things in J, that's really quite a pretty thing. I'm not sure if it's the right way to pass around giant arrays (something I plan on doing), but I will certainly be fooling with that. XDR would only be for talking to the non-J world. Most people seem to use protobuffers and other such "new" things for serialization, but I have never understood why people think there is anything wrong with XDR. I don't think there is anything missing; I just haven't used it enough to trust it yet. -SL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
