I forgot to mention that the function of "and" in our very-high-level
language, called English, is to denote that the next value is
end-of-list. Maybe we should have an "and" special character in MV?
The substringing of the attributes in the MV system is implemented by
scanning the characters and "blocking" the data between delimiters...
just like we real humans scan a sentence.
Now I am scaring you???
If IBM or MS had just discovered MV yesterday, it would be heralded
as a huge break-through in digital technology.
Too bad IBM didn't bump into Richard Pick instead of Bill Gates when
they went looking for someone to implement a small and inconsequential
operating system for the PC.!!!!
According to the information being bandied about over the years, they DID!
If not then, then shortly thereafter.....
