The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Except that C is not what I would call a true HLL. At least, not in the
sense of BASIC, FORTRAN, RPG, COBOL, PL/I, Pascal, or Java (even though
Java syntax is based on C syntax). More a mid-level language: higher
level than assembler, lower than a true HLL, and more than enough rope
to hang yourself.
I still wish PL/I had taken off. Now there's a language where you can
almost say, "You know what I want; just do it." If it had taken off,
then we'd probably have Object PL/I (it exists, but only just barely)
instead of C++, Objective C, and Java.
