Well, is Modula-2 a wimpy language? "C" became a standard because of AT&T,
it seems that Modula-2 has everything from "C" that it needs plus the
readability that cobol users have been bitching about. Why hasn't more
commercial packages been written in Modula-2? I mean is Modula-2 destined
to the way of APL? I do nothing but "C" & cobol, alright assembly too, and
I would like to do some projects in Modula-2, but how do you convince an
old IBM'er(my boss) that Modula-2 is the way to go? I had enough trouble getting
"C" used here! I'm tired of wimpy people and wimpy languages, either the
Modula-2 users become fanatical or I am going request the shutdown of this
news group because of lack of interest!
Come'on knock this variable off my shoulder!
