Which language is _the simplest_ to program things like a binary file that packs things?
Something like the specification of a "graphic" file could be like: 4 bytes for the header: AVFM 4 bytes (little endian) for the x dimension 4 bytes (little endian) for the y dimension (R,G,B) as 2 bytes big endian for each, from (x = 1, y = 1) to (x = 1, y = (max y)) etc. And the "language" would translate this as: byte[4] "AVFM" int4le maxx int4le maxy loop y = 1 to maxy loop x = 1 to maxx int2be R(x,y) int2be G(x,y) int2be B(x,y) end x end y Alberto Monteiro _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
