Thomas) Followup-To: net.flame Organization: Univ of Utah CS Dept Lines: 15 Xref: watmath net.lang.c:4376 net.lang.mod2:167 Summary: Hey, guys, if you want to know what Wirth was about when he designed PL360, Euler, Pascal, Modula, .... why don't you read his Turing award lecture in this month's CACM. Right from the horse's mouth. Then we don't need to wade through these inane, interminable discussions about whether Pascal was, or was not, designed as a teaching language, and so on. And in net.lang.c, of all places!!! Followups to this message will go to net.flame. -- =Spencer ({ihnp4,decvax}!utah-cs!thomas, thomas@utah-cs.ARPA) "A sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener with constant use" - Washington Irving
