-------------------------------- << ... Action! compiler/editor, which gives you a much <<faster edit/compile/try it/edit.... cycle. The language is <<close enough to C that it is easy to translate to/from. <I bet you I have a C program that will take you more time to translate to <Action than writing it from scratch! (even if you already know what the <program is designed to compute). I'll concede your point. My wording was careless. But consider: (1) Deep Blue C is not at all a complete implementation. So your challenge programs may not compile with it anyway. (2) I have readily translated C utilities to "Action", taken e.g. from /usr/src (blush). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Langdon L-472 langdon%lll-lcc@lll-crg.ARPA Physics Department "langdon#bruce%d"@lll-mfe.ARPA Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94550 (415) 422-5444 UUCP: ..{gymble,ihnp4,seismo}!lll-crg!lll-lcc!langdon
