Tasking would be *so* much easier in Ada. My only problem is if Oxxi does publish Ada and SAS comes out with C++ 2.1 then I'm gonna have to make a CHOICE in what OOP language I buy!!! Wow!

Of course, by the time either/both of them are for sale I might be out of school and be able to afford BOTH! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ < John Richardson < "I set the wheels in motion < > jrichard@hawk.ulowell.edu > turn on light and sound > < University of Lowell < activate the programs < > (just a student) > and watch the world go round..." > < < --Neil Peart (RUSH) < ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
