I don't program regularly in it, but I do know that writing a program which sets up equivalences for words is VERY VERY simple in Lisp. I do believe there are public domain Lisp interpreters for the Amiga, but I don't remember the names or locations of any right now. Try checking the Fish library. -- Frank McPherson INTERNET : emcphers@fox.cs.vt.edu -- -- AmigaUUCP : uunet!vtserf!morpheus!frank --
