Agreed! I was shocked when I found out how switch worked. Who was the
nutter who did that!
Anyway, most of the above I can't comment on because it is regarding the
design of a language, I just use what is presented before me, be it C,
C++, Fortran, 8051 assembly, 680x0... This doesn't mean I am not
interested in your comments, I really would like to hear more coz chances
are I'll be designing my own cut down language for my mud. Atm, I think
it'll the born-out-of-wedlock offspring between C++ and BASIC.
Someone tried to convince me to switch from C++ to Java... Hmmm...
*shrug*
PS: Do most people send stuff at around 4:00 am GMT or does our admin
read them thru first?
PPS: Nathan, don't spoil the ending of Space: Above and Beyond for us UK
viewers, even if it is terrible! :P
