I don't know if anyone has used flux, but I wrote that with pascal. Although, I'm great with LISP, I use pascal because there's really no professional LISP interpreter-compiler for the GS. Although, I'm 10 times better in C then in PASCAL, I use pascal because (beleive it or not) I've had better expereinces with TML II then ORCA/C. I never could manage to compile anything with ORCA/C. Plus, I'm not sure of this.... so anyone correct me if I'm wrong, I think that since PASCAL optimization techniques are more STANDARD, any pascal compiler for the GS will do a better job then any C compiler just because PASCAL optimization has been around longer and thus more likely to be incorporated. So if C compilers on the GS were to imrove, I'm sure that anyone serious about programming on it would switch. But in our life-time, I think using a GS means using PASCAL. nagendra
