So how come so many more Bookstore Shelf Inches are devoted to "C"?? > NO!!! Please, not another "my language is best" diatribe!!! YOU might think that C is the worst language. I respect your opinion. IMHO, Pascal, FORTRAN, Ada and Modula are MUCH inferior to C. Assembler? It has its uses. Which leaves us with FORTH and C. I just want to make the point that the fact that YOU don't like a language doesn't mean that EVERYBODY must hate it! +----------------------------------+------------------------------+ | The NetGhost | Mario Camou Riveroll | | EM302723@VMTECMEX.BITNET | Apdo.
