*** x *** There is a small group here that is proposing using a macro package to modify the appearance of C code. An example is: #define If(x) if(x) #define Then { #define Else }else{ #define End_if } #define Case_of(x) switch(x){ #define Case_break() break; case #define Else_case break; default #define End_case } #define Character char #define Integer int #define Pointer * The objective is to make the code simular in appearance to Modula-2 or Ada. I like Ada, but am very against this, yet I am not very good at generating good arguments. I know this discussion was on the net just a short time ago, but I never suspected that I would be in a possition of trying to ward this off. If someone could mail me good arguments (both pro and con, I know I'm not necessaraly right), or summarize the previous discussion, I would be greatful. -- unixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixunixuni n x i E.
