	This used to be a problem with Draco, but mr Gray come through with
a fix.  See fdcompile on fish#254 under PatternLib.  Now we have a program
to automagickly write interface routines.

	Between semesters I'm going to try to use Arexx with Draco, to add
array ops to Arexx.  This way Arexx can be used to write useful programs,
because a compiled language can provide the computational firepower to handle
individual cases, while the script provides the overall logic.
