Hi Ole, you wrote: >Do you mean the Beta programming language, Yes. >or just the beta versions of >GnuC++?

I didn't know Beta was *that* unknown. I actually printed out and studied the accompanying manuals. I especially like the idea of fragments. It provides some interesting added flexibility. I also found the arrow notation very intuitive and appealing. The only thing that stopped from actually using Beta beyond just entering all the examples from the manuals was the fact that the MS Windows GUI support was rather weak (at the time it relied on Tcl/Tk, if I remember correctly.) The kind of software I was looking to implement would have been very GUI intensive and I dreaded the idea of having to fool around with Tcl/Tk in order to get it to work, albeit through a Beta interface. At some point I remember someone announced that they were a implementing a constraint sub system for Beta. ;- Elan >> [: - )]
