Just thought you all might like to see a capsule description of C as it
appeared in a syndicated column called "The Business Computer" by Franklynn
Peterson and Judi K-Turkel [sic] on Sept 20. The description is reproduced
below in its entirety, and, of course, without permission.
"C. It is a popular programming language both because its programs
are compact and generally faster than compiled BASIC or Pascal.
And, because so many early IBM PC programs were in C, other
programmers got on the C bandwagon. The people who created C
believe it resembles plain English, but we'd like to meet their
English teachers. Some program lines read left to right, others
right to left."
