I tend to agree with you (and I'd use Modula-3 or Concurrent Euclid or whatever if I could get a good compiler with good runtime). But there are always people who want to fix C (hell, I'm one of them sometimes :->... mainly because I like the look of the language... it's purty... but not like that) and I'd like to find out what it is they want to do. Short of creating a new language! (that's one of the reasons I created alt.lang.cfutures in the first place) -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180. 'U` peter@ferranti.com
