Oh I use Windows too. I don't use MS VS. I don't code in MS C++. I don't code in Visual Basic either (Actually I did do some VB stuff - VB script stuff - but used XEmacs to do it. MS VS VB is all oriented to creating Windows GUI programs, but the task at hand was not to produce a GUI program rather a script. BTW MS VS took up some 500 - 1 gig of my hard drive! What a waste to write a 100 line VB script! And please refresh my memory - exactly how much $$$ does one need to put out for MS VS? Thought so...)[color=blue]

Re: Your comments regarding Xemacs - spot on!, well said.
Although mainly a C/C++ developer (for which I used Xemacs a great deal), I had to
do a good deal of VBScripting last year, and visual-basic-mode.el add-on to Xemacs
was perfect for the task. It seems to be perfect for a great many different tasks!!

Those English dude are so funny. I'm curious, is it actually pronounced "ass" like us yanks or is it pronounced "are esss"?
Mostly like your phonetic representation. Although many people here have been "corrupted" by the influx of American culture via TV and films, and assume that "ass" is the way forward...
That it is... That it is... I will never get used to things like colour and cheques. For a giggle you should read: Plan for Improvement of English Spelling

Re: Your comments on English spelling - Well, having a high regards
for the classics, I've been searching for a downloadable copy of
Samuel Johnson's famous dictionary - you might think that it would be easily
downloadable since one might have expected the copyright would now
be expired after 200 years - but... every academic site that I have
tried looking seems to cleverly redirect you to some book sales site
rather than offer an online/downloadable version.
I'm inclined to side with Google on the book copyright dispute -
the book publishers and universities have had for too long a monopoly
on research writings - the Internet changes all that as they have begun
to find out. But... that is the stuff for another post and some other newsgroup.
