 -> I did 'hand dissasemble' about half of part A from BASIS-13.  It
 -> sure does look like a committee wrote it.  I'd be intrested to learn
 -> just who is responsible for the more understandable (well written)
 -> parts.

         BASIS13 introduced a new editor, the redoubtable Len Zettel.
 BASIS14 is an order of magnitude more clear a document. I am proud
 of BASIS14. It (of course, always, forever) needs some work, but it
 is an implementable prototype standard. I know, I have implemented it.

 -> Thanks for the quick reply.  BTW Embedded Systems has now replaced
 -> Dr. Dobbs as my most 'looked forward to' mail.

         Me too! Of course, mine usually comes with a check :-)
