In article <1991Feb27.161925.8675@linus.mitre.org> John D. Burger writes: ] ]Acting as a Lisp gadfly, my response would be "Too bad you don't ]program in a language with a real object system, in which the solution ]would be to have dates, currency amounts and so forth each know how to ]form their own printed representation. What does this have to do with having a "real object system"? You can write different printing routines for different data types in almost any language. -- David Gudeman gudeman@cs.arizona.edu noao!arizona!gudeman
