I must confess to liking Modula-2, but I must also confess to disliking intensely any language which dictates coding style, namely where to use upper-case and where to use lower-case letters. The last language which did that was FORTRAN-77, which probably isn't very popular with people who subscribe to this newsgroup. Is this case restriction (which is, after all, entirely arbitary and without any valid engineering backing) in the standard? If so, I hope that there will be lots of 'bizarre compilers' available for people like me who prefer to choose for themselves. After all, CaSe SENsItiViTy Is a bORE ... Hubert Matthews
