Hi guys! I think my earlier post got lost so here it is again.... This is
for a student compiler project of mine.... 

If you have a choice, do you want the parethesis pair over the caster
(C-style) or over the castee (Pascal-style)? eg...

int a;
float b;

a = (int)b; /* cast to int */
a = int(b); /* allowable in C++ */

...as for Pascal...
a := integer(b); { "a" in an integer and "b" is a real }

Thanx!
