Because everything else sucks --- just kidding. I like and use many languages, and I pick the one best suited to the task at hand. In this case it was Pascal, I am a contributing member of the FreePascal developement team - I would not be if I did not think it was a great language (I have a lot of respect for Wirth)
The database's (as it says in the FAQ section of the FM you apparently forgot to R) are binary-flat-file - which for the task at hand is the only solution that is not an overkilling waste of resources. Since I am the developer, and you got it for nothing, you can contribute if you want -or write your own. I made judgement calls during design, and while I am always open to criticism, I think it is rather harsh to judge me on the grounds that you dissagree with them. Over 4000 people have downloaded DC according to freshmeat, I think that speaks for itself. A.J. On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 21:32, Mark Ehle wrote: > Thanks, Anselm - > > I did look at /etc/passwd.
