But if not, then the analogy is rather weak. The Macintalk phonemic language really is tremendously simple; and the frequent statements in the documentation, that you would do better to learn it and write directly in it than to switch back and forth between some auto-translation program and the Resource Editor (using the phonemic language directly to fix up the auto-translator's errors), turned out to be accurate when I actually did it. I was surprised too! -- Tim Maroney, Electronic Village Idiot {ihnp4,sun,well,ptsfa,lll-crg,frog}!hoptoad!tim (uucp) hoptoad!tim@lll-crg (arpa)
