I have looked a Python and found it a bit > confusing not having to delare everything and aslo it has no unary opperator. All languages have unary operators - at the very least negate, both loagical and arithmeatic. Most modern ones have a boolean negate as well. > Is there a Master Yoda sensing a disturbance in the force? Well, Python 2.0 has unary assignment operators if that's what you meant. Personally, I think python is the most readable thing I've found, and would gladly write you such a tool just to show off python, except I'm currently bedridden and can't get access ot a machine with an X server to test it on. If you still don't have one in two weeks, drop me a note about it, as I should be up and about by then. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
