Hey cool! I would add the possibility of nesting several of such comments, or not, and why not also the { } and (* *) of Pascal. A pragma would allow ending a { by a *) or */, or not, and ignoring or not the rest of a line inside a "/*" after a -- (even if it has a */). Did you understand ? I mean, it's simple. And what about including chuncks of code - it would be so cool to just insert "c:\...\mytools.inc" at some place instead of these packages. Another idea: make some names implicitly type. E.g. I, J5, InJm and so on are always integers, so why declare them ? ________________________________________________________ Gautier -- http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/gsoft.htm NB: For a direct answer, e-mail address on the Web site!
