In fact, I believe C to be a LOWER level language than 370 BAL. After all, BAL has a block move instruction (MVC or MVCL) where C has to call a SUBROUTINE to move a block (movemem or strcpy). Pre-ANSI C and BAL do about the same level of error checking. :-) -- Kevin Kleinfelter @ Dun and Bradstreet Software, Inc (404) 239-2347 ...gatech!nanovx!msa3b!kevin Warning: There seem to be multiple 'msa3b' nodes on Usenet, and it is nanoVX, not nanovAx.
