(Sigh, I spent a couple of days trying to send this to chat, before I realized that I wasn't a member of chat. )
This discussion (#/.) has been extremely insightful and educational, at least for me. Thanks to all the very smart J'ers who took a lot of time to try to educate me. As has happened often before, when trying to answer questions raised in that discussion, I opened my copy of Henry's "J for C Programmers" (I keep in iBooks on my iPhone) to reread some of the parts my eyes glazed over at first encounter due to my own laziness/ignorance. I would not have been offended at all if one of the replies to my first question has been "read chapter 23 of JforC, stupid!" So, thank you too, Henry, as well as Rick, Raul, Roger,Jose, Louis, and all! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
