To: Donald_W._Gillies.osbunorth@Xerox.arpa Subject: Re: Overloading Date: Wed Mar 5 13:05:59 1986 True, I/O should NOT be part of the language itself. Pascal taught us that. However, the usual problem still persists in languages such as C and Modula: As usual, Joe down the street likes his I/O standard better than yours and because his is only $99.95 and yours isn't, we eventually get TWO standards and neither is compatable with the other, not even taking into account things such as file formats etc. If someone could come up with a standard people would stick with, then we could talk about portability. .. but the "standard standards" are usually the lowest common denominator and hence anyone and everyone is encouraged to extend the standard once again. While I don't disagree with your flame, I do feel that your term of "standard" needs defining. John Antypas UC San Diego uucp: ...!sdcsvax!jantypas arpa: jantypas@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu 1
