Expires: Consider that various Unices were written by (1) grad students or (2) people who REALLY DIDN'T INTEND that the code become public (SysV is a modified SysIII which is a modified V7, the code is probably largely identical). I could show you readable code, but anyone who thinks Ada is THE answer probably has too much of a bias -- he would not even try. (I dislike most C-isms, so my code is fairly clean and lacking in most non-intuitive constructs such as ``x = 5, y = 3;'' and the use of && such that (x && y) doesn't evaluate y if x is false.) (BTW, Ada is too big. Did nobody learn the lesson of PL/I? Tasking BUILT INTO THE LANGUAGE, when it's not an object-type language!? I fully expect problems on that one. . .) --bsa -- Brandon Allbery, Unix Consultant -- 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, OH 44131 decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!bsa; ncoast!bsa@case.csnet; +1 216 524 1416; 74106,1032 ========================> Trekkies have Warped minds. <=======================

Take a look at subset G of pl/i. I haven't seen cleaner code in any language, even if DRI did leave out some very handy parts of subset G.
