Exactly! But how do you get that to happen! Wirth created Oberon and Oberon-2 languages. Wrote Oberon OS with it, and thought _that_ would be the "kick-ass" project that would surely convince the IT world that Oberon was _it_! He's still waiting for that to happen. I don't know what the answer is - maybe it's simply finding a niche problem domain and going after it with all the resources you can muster, and build on that. -- Duke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
