Raul; The protocol I'm looking for is for writing sentences in "imagined J" without the obviousness that it is not "Real J" being needlessly pointed out.
The sentence I wrote was a trial only: if it could be said, it could be said this way. I am in no way saying that it should be said this way. As far as the latter, the "convince Roger" path has little appeal. Same with the "community" protocol, since the implementor seems to follow his own tune. (e.g. x. y. -> x y ; the nvv fork) I recall you did mention something about Perl having issues with customized termination strings. Do you have URL's for discussions of this issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\/| Randy A MacDonald | APL: If you can say it, it's done..

To the degree that there are protocols, I imagine them as: [1] The "final proposal" protocol -- convey to Roger that the benefits of the proposed change significantly outweigh the costs. [2] The "community" protocol -- engage talent, in a social fashion, and eventually inspire someone to satisfy the "final proposal" protocol. That said: proposals to change Dictionary II.E seem to have extremely high implementation costs. There's almost always a better way to approach any problem. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
