Unfair? (4 out of 5 trash it). Thanks to pointing to those reviews: I had my dose of laugh for today when reading that a reviewer "from DC, USA" points out that: "In one instance, in a disturbing attempt at explaining the structure of arrays in ADA, the author chooses to use the concept of a PASCAL triangle. Don't ask why. Or how. Or what's the point." ... so you should probably not take those critics too seriously. -Stephane ---- Stephane Barbey, PhD phone: +41(31)828.92.17 Paranor AG fax: +41(31)828.92.99 3046 Wahlendorf stephane@paranor.ch Switzerland http://lglwww.epfl.ch/~barbey
