OK fine. Your assessment must be correct. GEL is too little too late and the  
motivation for it was all wrong(what a really stupid idea whatever it was). So  
lets cut and can the bullshit, where is the macro language that makes the very  
concept of GEL so appealing to the inbred?  I will down load it now and start  
making macros for all my GNU applications. Or do I have to develop some code to  
interface with my girl Perl. Or do I have to wait a few days. Maybe somebody  
could write me some pipe routines and then we can all tell rms that he made one  
big mistake because we did it already.
