If we want compiled code, we already have C and C++. What we need is an interpreted language with good libraries so people can write scripts and one-liners without having to jump through too many hoops and worry about quoting. The result may not be as fast as a compiled program, but it will be much faster than a shell script and take less time to write than either C or shell. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
