Sorry, I was being too cute by half. If Simula is the fore father (4 away) then Smalltalk is half as far (2) away. Hence the "toofather." "Toofather" by analogy with the homophones "fore" and "four" we use the homophones "two" and "too". --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
