Granted. Now the question is whether the simpler language has to be C (which I don't consider to be anything like simple, much rather cumbersome [1]) or whether a script language (of which I use several, both OO and non OO) would be enough... Best regards, Gabriel [1] Beware. I don't want to start a language war here, I'm merely looking for a good book to pick up one I admittedly don't think is good... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2i iQEVAwUBOsDUQcZa2WpymlDxAQHAvQgApID/7uMxwIuzp+TrVjYY7xhAE0PLlz84 2ygpCepXqdzuX/6Owf/U5s2TxTELeCDQQqIKn+4HwxiQqM3FO5aR6lRNuj+v8lp+ IewrG+beCz9yzdwhD07od3O4D7nDzj3hAULDEuDsT36rMPW1T6+m/QgB1X/TorK/ F6pIV6VnE4VxH2bAOoAuznMwLudBFST9cIiXuKjUyA/Mkz+HcD/zqb+o5SqpwT2Y QUbE3paVt4jaFnCw8jQuTxk8B632D96etyLo3ED5/N50hF44Fm3LAmhk3dQPUYyt +P+AtFbGkqyi4/9GCcPgq6KeIT5KNkOlHSLyv2M7u+BJMgTRwEt5kQ== =MKM6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
