I don't think that you're being quite fair. There are boatloads of specialized application programming languages--I rarely pay attention to any of them, figuring that after your first dozen or so, it's easy enough to add another one. Heck, I may even have some STL stashed away in my collection of Siemens PG-685 floppies. I never was interested in looking. --Chuck
