      From: acolvin@efunct.com              > You might not want J1 and J_one in the same program.              Similarly, some ancient compiler (Euclid?) had case-insensitive lookup, but       required the same capitalization everywhere              This was much more important in the days of batch systems, where compilers       tried to "correct" your code, because it would be a day before you got       another chance. And because student programs couldn't do any damage.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
