Chipp,

If Rev could only be done in this manner, I'd run from it as fast as I could. Why do you think I liked HC? I spent years trying out all the other languages, from Fortran thru Assembler to VisualBasic and FutureBasic. The latter two were acceptably useful, but still not as good as HC. Even the Externals written using CompileIt were pretty much pure HC, with slight sidesteps; very useful and generated very fast code. The only reason I'm not still using HC is the obvious one. Apple dropped supporting and extending it to meet the new demands of our current systems.

So, I still think, though I'm sure you are right that Dick has done and does a remarkable job; it's not my piece of cake. If this is the evolving direction of Rev, it is the wrong one. Just MHO.

Dick,

I admire in cleverness of all this, but the code is even worse to
comprehend than assembly language.

Not really. Joe, once you've been programming Rev as long as Dick has,
this stuff is just plain english.

Dick, nice job on the 'stream of consciousness' code writing. You seem
to always have some of the slickest and most novel approaches to code
snippets. I try and never miss one of your posts. ;-)
