<><><>< I've seen the following bandied about a lot: > "The C Programming Language: A language which combines the > flexibility of assembly language with the power of assembly > language." and the one comment I have always had about that is, as written, it's neither a joke nor a flame, just nonsensical. Shouldn't it be: "The C Programming Language: A language which combines the power of assembly language (so far a compliment) with the flexibility of [pause] assembly (expecting a high level!) language." So this is an appeal to the probably hundreds of people a month who use that line to reverse the order, and make it logically correct. - just playing William "English Mafia" Safire... -- Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner What do you expect?
