I certainly agree with Bill on this one, but may I add that you also must comment on things that you like as well as those that you don't. It's very natural to only voice complaints, but if a few people say they don't like something and the thousand who do don't say anything, the X3J3 committee is tempted to make a change. On another topic, it may be tempting to come to the conclusion from a previous posting of mine about derived types that I think Bob Allison is a moron (even though they were his words). I think Bob is a very bright guy who recently has done a lot of good hard work for X3J3. I can still say that it is difficult to get members of X3J3 to focus in on some issues long enough to understand some problems, such as structures vs. derived types (and I can still disagree with Bob about things). -- Walt Brainerd Unicomp, Inc. brainerd@unmvax.cs.unm.edu
