Hmm, from the original poster's address that looks like a student account. A new semester has started, so it would not be unreasonable to presume that some student is turning to The Net to get a head start on some project. It wouldn't be the first time. (I recall one flamefest a while back where some professor requested netters not to respond to some student request for information saying that he should find it by himself. Of course one outcome was to spur folks like me into action and send reams of references to the student, since asking the Net seemed like a perfectly bona fide method of research. But, I digress!) As the Daves have pointed out, the scope of the request is far larger than I suspect the poster anticipates. Maybe the educator posed the problem and let the student pick the language, in which case, education has already taken place! But what if the problem was posed using ADA(sic). How does this reflect upon the "educator"? Tell me I'm presuming too much. --Rob spray@convex.com
