> Keith Shillington > Syntax is mostly irrelevant. Then why all what we hear about C weak points is what a bad syntax it has, and how much more readable Ada is? offcourse syntax is important. And semantics are important too. you need clear synatx to express what you mean. defining an object using a record synatx for example, as in Ada, is an example of wrong synatx for the semantics at hand. so both need to be clear and work togother :) Nasser ____________________________________________________________________ More than just email--Get your FREE Netscape WebMail account today at http://home.netscape.com/netcenter/mail
