It ain't what you know that hurts you, its what you know that ain't so! You are wrong about Lua-ML. Please visit the C-- web site, read the papers, buy the T-shirt, etc. I'm pretty tempted to go with Lua, because the people who'll be writing the config files for my program aren't programmers and Lua may have more palatable syntax. -- Brian
