	This can't be the same "B" that was the precursor to "C".
That one had much of the flavor of "C", but was typeless, and supported
only "vectors" as its complex data type. I used it in college, but
haven't heard much about it since then. If there really is a new
language called "B", I would strongly recommend a change in name to
avoid confusion, since the two languages seem radically different, and
the "B" I'm familiar with has been around for a long time.

P.S. If the article was a :-), never mind!
