(Surely you're not claiming to have all 5 bound together?) 2: It's not in C. IM does not deal with C. 3: If it puts an _ in front of the names of Toolbox calls, it's ML. ML? everybody's favorite (almost) functional programming language? gee. standard ML? edinburgh ML? didn't realize that apple had adopted it as a standard programming language. oh, you mean machine language? sorry - i didn't realize that. well, i hate to tell you, but you didn't get this right, either. you almost certainly mean assembly language - machine language is basically a bunch of numbers, certainly not underscores. assembly language is a very close cousin, perhaps, but hardly the same thing. sheesh. if you're going to be a pedant, could you at least try a bit harder? (and, for the original poster's sake, the language was pascal.) on a more serious note, does anybody actually know of a version of ML that exists for the mac? david carlton carlton@husc9.harvard.edu B5 f- t w- r-
