Re: Clever UNIX/C Constructs

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,

Someone was asking about who voted for what a while back, and someone
brought up the c constructs.  I was simply answering that point.

No where did I say that no one should vote for them.  No where did I 
compare C's += -= -- ++ constructs to RPG.  No where did I say that 
RPG was easier to understand that C.  

Every single point you made had nothing to do with anything I said.

I was simply stating I did not like these constructs and did not think
it would be a good idea to include them in RPG and a few reasons why.

The voting is already over, as far as I know, so it doesn't make a 
hill of beans difference now anyway, does it?

And I did not think I was arguing, I was discussing.

Regards,

Jim Langston
