Do languages like Pascal that don't have string formatting expressions, or use the % operator, count? How about languages like Forth that don't have precedence rules at all, unless "first come, first served" is a precedence rule? I'm not being academic here. I have used both these languages extensively, admittedly many years ago. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
