Sorry to interrupt the extremely exciting flame war going on, but I have a question. Right now it is rather difficult to combine, say fortran code with C, or indeed any language with any other. This means, for all practical purposes, that code must be written in one language only (ignoring cases like emacs). Has any thought been given to the possibility of making the GNU language products (when they all come out) able to speak to one another? The idea being that I could write some code in C, some in Fortran, some in LISP, compile link and go. I realize this would be difficult but is it so hard that it is not even worth thinking about? We now return you to the ubiquitous discussion of the meaning of 'free'. Alan
