Thanks Jimmy,
1) I know that my coding skills aren't at the level of what you see with
dissect,
but if Henry is interested in the way I have approached the display, he can
certainly use any of jig's ideas. Do remember that dissect is a different tool
than jig and
many of the decisions I made on the jig interface would not be appropriate for
dissect.
2) I can't speak to the difficulty of using unicode for J primitives, but one
of the
things that I like about J is that the notation is so consistent. When you look
at
mathematics notation it gets pretty wild and wooly very quickly. I prefer %:
and knowing
that I can extend it to 3&%: the same way that I can with ^ and 3&^
3&%: 8
2
3&^ 8
6561
Cheers, bob
