>>But, the question still stands, how many people knew that this was the
way Eval worked before this topic was brought up?  I am daring to say
almost none, except for the people who wrote the compiler.<<

O.K., Jim, yes, I knew about this, not only from the IBM manuals, but also from
coverage in News400 & Midrange Computing.

And, guess what, I've never found myself in a position where I had to consider
the intermediary results.  And I haven't used ADD, SUB, DIV, or MULT when
writing new code for a long, long time.  Well, I guess that's not quite true.  I
always consider it, but I've never had to change my EVAL expression because of
it.  Just lucky, I guess.

You asked.
