It's not the asking of such a question that is in any way wrong. Its your pathetic implication that the need to ask such a question somehow indicates that the language is "not as good" as PL/I. People have to ask this sort of question for ANY language - including PL/I. Are you saying that you magically know all this stuff for PL/I just because your using it???? No way. Your continual idiotic rants in this thread have once again shown you to be a fool who's not to be taken seriously. /Jon -- Jon Anthony Organon Motives, Inc. 1 Williston Road, Suite 4 Belmont, MA 02178 617.484.3383 jsa@organon.com
