That's an interesting assertion. Note that truly general purpose read functionality would work with sockets and mapped files. Note also that dyadic cut is general purpose, though maybe special code would be nice, at some point. Note also that interactive read line support ideally includes line editting support, which maybe influnences the concept of "general". In the non-J world, read line support seems to be considered utility (implemented in many different ways, many different times) rather than application (implemented only once). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
