My condolences on having to code in TAL and TACL. I worked for Tandem for a little while in the Mid 80's. I refused to use TAL. TACL was a little fun (i liked that "if statements" cound return a value). I became a beta user of their new C compiler. This was the first time I used C. Before that I developed in BAL, PL/1, PASCAL/VS and APL with EXEC/EXEC2 and REXX and a little JCL. Those are Real Mainframe languages. Doug
