Hello Jasen - 

JB>>> ISTM pre-processor could be written to filter Bills

JB>>> it;s not like there's a dearth of programmers in this
JB>>> conference! 

CA>> "dearth"? 

JB> (not in your dictionary? syn: shortage) 

I understand "dearth" but while dashing thither and yon I
failed to grab my Olde English dictionary. 

CA>> You have obviously made the common mistake of thinking C
CA>> programmers are here lurking. 

JB> on occasion I communicate wih some of them. I'm not going

Possibly you're thinking of the ASM echo? ;-) 

CA>> This is just a hiding place for Pascal programmers waiting

CA>> popup here from time to time. 

JB> I haven't seen any of that here. 

Stick around, you will. 

CA>> Possibly I could write one in OBERON? 

JB> what use would that be to anyone running a posix-ish
JB> operating system? 

Is there such a thing as a posix-ish operting system? Is there
such a word as "posix-ish"? I was told posix-ish OS were
deprecated. 

CA>> Note: No listing of new C programs are posted here _ever_.
CA>> ;-) 

JB> do you mean source or announcements ? (I've seen both) 

Again, you're probably thinking of the ASM echo or DRDEGUG?
