["I say high, You say low, ... "] Some other definitions: 1. X is "higher-level" than Y if it has fewer detractors among professors of computer science. 2. X is "higher-level" than Y if fewer people believe it should be stamped out. 3. X is "higher-level" than Y if it was invented as a substitute for Y. Incidentally, most people use "higher-level" not as a comparative but merely as a positive: "Algol is a higher-level language." Higher than what? Just "higher." -- Col. G. L.
