I think the ANSI X12J5 comittee is working on it. They just can't seem to agree on the best way of using negativary numbers. I think there is a conflict between the (left-radical) minus-one complement wing and the (liberal) pi-complement wing. Religious war issues, these. Stephen> What about the data structure issue, doesn't Intercal Stephen> deserve high level data structures? Yes .. I think they are discussing one bag structure, where you put your values in with a KICK operation, and then get them out again with a DRAG operation. This is a so called FITO 'stack' - First In Then Out. Of course, the values are returned in a random order. This structure will be invaluable to BogoSort programs, random number generators and numerous other applications. Look forward to it! -Magnus
