I'd like to see it as comp.software-eng. as long as the was general enough to include at least all the languages mentioned in the original posting. I hope such a group will be a useful forum for discussions on the relations *between* the various languages available for specifying reqiurements and systems, ie. questions of the sort: What language is good for doing ? and How can I do in ? -- Regards Steve Fagg ( slf@stl.stc.co.uk +44-279-29531 Ext 2437 ) STC Technology Ltd., London Road, Harlow, Essex, CM17 9NA Regards Steve Fagg ( slf@stl.stc.co.uk +44-279-29531 Ext 2437 )
