Yet another thing you learn in studying in University, is the art of apple polishing! LOL If a person has graduated from college, it is not clear what if anything he has learned of a technical nature --- but it can be assumed that he has learned to be a head-bobber (someone who habitually bobs his head up and down in agreement when the boss is speaking) and has learned to readily admit to being wrong when pressured (when the boss looks at him without smiling for more than two seconds). These are the traits that bosses want in an employee --- that prove the employee to be "trainable." BTW, has anybody actually looked at my software? http://www.forth.org/novice.html All this pseudo-intellectual nonsense (including this post) is getting boring. Why don't we try discussing software for a while? I wrote that slide-rule program as a showcase of Forth. I've been thinking of porting it over to another language, possibly C. Maybe one of you C experts could write the C program though, as a comparison --- to show how much better C is than Forth. You can demonstrate that my code was badly written and strangely designed --- with a concrete example, rather than just a lot hand-waving and chest-thumping. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
