Hmm. That would be for things like Hayes modem commands, or Midi commands; one company initially dominated, then other companies created independent implementations of the same command set. I think there is only one Perl implementation. So just "Perl" is enough; no need to say "standard". -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
