No, but maybe the C++. C was small and elegant. It had a clear "plan". But
last I saw most compilers now are supporting C++, which as anyone will admit
is comparitvly a large and compilcated language. But personally, I would be
very upset to be stuck with plain old C.

to contribute anything? Do we have to use vi to enter it, or can I use my
Macintosh text editor at least to type such user friendly things as <a
