I wouldn't condem it quite that vociferously. It has the basic trig functions, all the basic control loop stuff, and several ways to do a subroutine. My biggest and loudest bitch is the inability to troubleshoot an errant arc move in a subroutine that may have 10 of them in it, it gets blamed on the line that calls the sub. I have had to convert my blanket-chest code from 3 subroutines, to multiple copies of the subroutine but inline. In the process, I probably have 300 LOC out of 650 or so that are never executed. Its a horrible mess, but it works. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
