I have not come far enough into the RM9X to really see the differences you see as so enormous. so, a possibly premature apology for the possibly premature comments. however, I'm no foreigner to standards and their prose, which may of course also provide some bias in readability questions. (failed to understand Algol 68, though, but that was 10 years ago.) I don't usually confuse hopes with reality, but they _have_ tended to influence eachother. # -- Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. NO is the answer.
