Justa note of thanks

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't often get a chance to do this (or perhaps I just don't make the time
that I should), but I just wanted to drop a note that ISN'T whining <smile>.

To everyone on the RPG compiler team that happens to read this (and
especially to you Hans, since I bust your chops so often), I wnated to offer
a heartfelt thank you.

I've been spending the last couple of weeks writing some true procedures to
make my development a little more manageable.  In so doing, I've become very
familiar with the procedure interface, and in particular CONST and *NOPASS.
Between these two, I have been able to create some very powerful procedures
that make my the next higher tier much easier to design and develop.

I'm still learning; I have a tendency to apply Java design techniques to RPG
that occasionally gets me in trouble, but despite my ineptness I'm
absolutely thrilled with what you've done.  I'm definitely in favor of
signature overloading and qualified references now that I've gotten a little
more under my belt, but what's already there is quite powerful.

Thanks again.

Joe
