In article <14246@lambda.UUCP> jlg@lambda.UUCP (Jim Giles) writes: I don't know what is! (By the way, indentation level _has_ been used this way in an existing language: MODCAP (used to be called MADCAP - don't know why they changed the name).) we can only hope that modcap isn't an existing language much longer. not only did it use a wildly non-standard character set as well as indentation for blocking, it used variable amounts of white space around operators to vary their precedence. -- Offer void except where prohibited by law.
