Boys and girls, I'd like it very, very much if we could avoid our Annual Hungarian Notation Fight this year. Please note that, just like the Mac-vs-PC wars, the right-to-life-vs-pro-choice wars, and oh, ever so many others, NOT ONE PERSON has ever been convinced away from his or her position by the undoubtedly eloquent arguments of the other side. If you have a position on Hungarian Notation, would you *please* keep it to yourself? Or at any rate, keep it off of comp.lang.ada? If you absolutely *have* to say something on this issue, would you please pick a net friend to share it with and privately email it? Just consider yourself to have won the fight and drop it, OK? Thank you very much. p.s., if there are jobs open for programmers in Hungary, would you please use the word Magyar? I'm fixin' to ignore *everything* that has "Hungarian" in the subject line. I suggest the rest of you do, too. Bob Crispen revbob@eight-ball.hv.boeing.com Speaking for myself, not my company
