Don't let me stop you, though. C is the most difficult Language to read and use. And yes, I have 10 years+ experience in C and C++ so I know what I am talking about. After a few years of C and C++ it became clear to me that all those great K&R invetions (array = pointer, type convertions left right and center - to name only two) are crap. In C and C++ I spend 10 times as much time inside a debugger as for example in Ada. And I have only 1 year experience in Ada which shows something about the quality of C or C++. As for the OP: Scripting in a C style language: No thank you. With Regards Martin. -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
