Gregg, I pre-date them that toys. I did a lot of time on Sigma-9s and UNIVAC 1100s...
Though I *have* done terminal enemalators for MS-DOS (in TASM) so I have some experience doing assembler language. Additionally, never forget the C combines the power of assembly language with the ease of use of assembly language. -soup -------------------- John R.

John you've just pointed out the reason why I don't like that family of machines, and its descendants. Also COBOL for the same reason. As for Assembler, I do. It turns out I became very good at it, during the 8086, and 80286 days. Wrote code that could solve many a problem, that refused to be solved, in a higher level language, example Pascal. Who here recalls the Borland family of products from that age? ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
